New Toggle: Pointer to Nearest Thingwall

They're not the hardest thing to find, there's solid mathematical logic in their positioning now that we have "Display Provinces" -option. However sometimes they manage to elude you and you'd have to scour several rivers and lakes near the presumed center to find thee Thingwall.

Hearthland Guidance, prayer available from Ancestral Worship.
At a cost of X Numen points, your character will receive pings showing direction to nearest Thingwall for 3 ingame hours (~1RL hour). Take note, that standing close enough to already discovered Thingwall doesn't eliminate it from being directed to.

Wouldn't hate if there was some hearth magic or such to ask where the nearest thingwall is, and then you would get some slice pointer towards it.

Keep the cost reasonable and this would fit it nicely into the lore.

Using numen points to find a thingwall is the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard.

Yeah, a low cost xp magic would be nice, considering things like mine song/polish symbel/raw hide costs, i'd say this would have to be 250xp or below to be relative to the rest for its usefulness since they are stored on minimap once found

If it's going to exist seems dumb for it to cost anything tbqh

I'd rather just get thingwalls by entering the region, but I doubt jorb will do that so this should probably be added with either no or very minimal cost like 1 exp.

tbh the only reason for the cost (for me) is to tie it in logically to the world lore. Make it 50-100 or whatever and it's trivial, but it still takes something to get something type idea. That or an object that guides you like a divining rod.

Seems a little weird to just walk a straight line across the world and auto-unlock a teleport system though.
