>.< when you make a hearth secret, do NOT just type in something... choose a good one.
hearth secrets are like passwords, make a complicated one that nobody else can figure, or clear it when you dont need it.
(otherwise, griefers will spawn at you/your friends' hearth fire and try to give you a hard time.)

you can also try to locate your friend using a party chat, but world is very huge and it can take you days to get to meet your friends that way. if your chars are still rather new, making a new char will be much easier and less frustrating. (party arrows are bugged sometimes.)

Always remember this!! There is also a random generator on the kin page. Useful for frequent changing.

Also don't give it away to anyone you don't trust. I don't know how many people I've met in game, but made the mistake of leaving a HS on a runestone. Next time I saw them, they said they got killed by a griefer. If you want to contact someone, use a drop email or give them your forum name.

The arrows don't work very well, but if you're in a party with another person, you can click on their portrait to travel to each other. You can get the general direction this way.

I think it takes about 6-8 hours to travel the entire map, assuming you have a reliable and safe way to cross rivers.

You can also both locate yourselves on the map at http://algeralith.info/HavenMap/. This will show you an approximate way to get to each other. (Note that it's user generated, so it can be incomplete or out of date.)
