Great Eagle

Once a character creates a focus item they have the option to call a Great Eagle.

Great Eagles are special mobs (not related to the 'Eagle' or 'Mother Eagle') that arrive from the sky and can transport players over huge distances.

To call an eagle use:

> call eagle

Once you call the game will show

> You look up towards the skies and start calling the mighty creatures.

Calling will take most of your movement points.

Eagles can only be called outdoors and in rideable rooms. Also they don't like to come too close to towns.

After you call an eagle, it may take somewhere between 90 seconds to 2 minutes for it to arrive. If it has not arrived then, calling has failed. There will be no message by the game to tell you so.

Once you have called an eagle, there is a cooldown period where you cannot call again and the game will tell you if calling too quickly again.

Once the eagle arrives, you can type

> ride eagle

and then to tell the eagle the destination:

> whisper eagle rivendell

You have a limited time to climb and tell the destination. Otherwise the eagle will leave again.

Possible destinations are: Rivendell, Nen-i-sul, Ost-In-Edhil, Lorien, Last Bridge, Tharbad, Bree, Fornost, Anduin, Weathertop, Shire, Grey Havens, Blue Mountains, Khuzur, Moria, Dunland, Rohan, Fangorn, and Isengard.

The distance you can fly is limited and is somwhere in the order of Last Bridge to Lorien. Sinda elves have a special perk which extends this range. If the distance is too far for the eagle to fly, it will tell you and let you chose a different destination.

The travel will happen off the map (you will see your X moving the direct path even if outside of built zones) and you'll be above the clouds and cannot see rooms while the eagle is in the air.
