[FOCI]

Knows the Hidden Paths

Translation Codex

A strong connection to the local topography and dan.gers can be incredibly useful when thrust into an otherwise unfamiliar recursion. This Focus represents those who know their homeland well; whether that be the countryside or the urban streets, they are masters of blending in and finding their way. Indeed, this knowledge comes to them almost intuitively, as though this were the only place they need ever go.

If we could only tap into this knowledge whenever we translate, we could be well prepared for whatever comes our way. Until I discover an Artifact or process for doing so, we'll have to rely on Strangers with this inclination to get us by.
