== Reading these maps ==
Labels and drawn roads are useful reference points, but a drawn connection does not establish a usable passage. Match an observed route to the map in one recorded Forever build before adding coordinates, entrance pins or travel instructions. Map symbols alone do not identify active vendors, quest givers or dungeon portals.

The originals are retained without added markers or image edits. Source artwork and wiki annotations should remain distinguishable when future observations are added.

{{Research tasks|kind=Guide|needs=Record the Forever build for each map; Compare map labels with the in-game map; Verify routes before adding coordinate pins}}
