This large, weathered bit of cloth appears covered in intermeshing spider's silk. It has been folded many times over and bears an ever-changing nonsensical mass of blurred lines, shapes, and symbols. Those who study the exploits of the Company of Seven often describe Keoghtom as the most inventive and assiduous of the group. The demigod Zagyg only confides in Keoghtom and respects his judgment greatly. In addition, save only Nolzur, Keoghtom enjoys good terms with the rest of the company and is even accorded a friend of the mage Mordenkainen. Keoghtom's many discoveries have benefited the cultures of the Flanaess significantly - especially his balms and curatives. The map that bears his name is no exception. Fharlanghn, whose friendship with the bard Reward is long and deep, facilitated its creation by allowing Keoghtom a perusal of the famed Oerthdisc. The resulting map proved so useful that cartographers and sages suggest dozens of copies exist across the Flanaess.
In order to use it, you need only concentrate upon the map, searching your mind for a location, creature, or object. The map then acts as a find the path spell, showing in great detail the shortest, most direct physical route to the specified destination. You can only use the map once per day, and all other paths or locations on the map appear as an ever-changing blurred mass of webs.
The map refuses to locate Keoghtom, the path to his extradimensional home, nor indeed the location of any being who carries the rank of deity. It cannot see beyond the bounds of the current plane of existence.
