7.7 KEYS

A key is used to open locks on doors, chests, or other lockable things. Keys
are able to open up to six different locks but generally only a God is able to
set which locks a particular key can open.


Using a Key
-----------
If you have the right key, then you can lock or unlock whatever it works on.
There's nothing special to do to 'use' a key.

Locksmiths
----------
Ashtan    - Schliemann the Unlocker.
Cyrene    - Dalphon, the Clockworker.
Delos     - Eltrik, the locksmith.
Eleusis   - Iuchair, Eleusian Locksmith.
Hashan    - Zaertum, the Locksmith.
Mhaldor   - Mordas, the Locksplitter.
Targossas - Barkash, the Locksmith.

Getting Keys Copied
-------------------
If you have a key and it has your mark on it, you will be able to take it to a
locksmith, and ask him to copy it for you.

If you have a key with your mark on it, then go to a locksmith and:
COPY <key number> FOR <person>

Attempting to copy a key that does not have your mark on it could have
unpleasant consequences.



The following can only be offered to the official owners of the shops in question.
