Note:  Some  aspects  of the endgame defy mapping. The direction from which
you  enter  a  'desert' or 'foothills' location may affect your destination
when you leave; enter a desert 'room' from the North, then go north and you
MIGHT  enter  the Tower. But if you entered the desert from the East, going
north  might  take  you  to  a  different place! You should drop an uneeded
object in each of these locations so you'll know when you've returned there
unexpectedly.  Even  if  you do get lost, it's easy to take a few steps and
reach a reliable location.
