Directions
In TFC, the following direction types are used: North, South, East, West, Up, and Down. While other MUDs may use angulars (north-east, for example), TFC does not.
Vortex
When navigating in the vortex, down and south are the safest directions.
If you get blown around, exit down and south and start over. (If that doesn't work, try one west then down and south again.)
For these directions, the first up gets you into the vortex.
