A Pathfinder is a long, wand-like device that helps elves to light leap, the main mode of transportation for the elves. It's basically a collection of different leaping crystals in one. Pathfinders usually have a colored or clear crystal atop a long, thin stick, allowing light to pass through the facets and cast a beam on the ground. Stepping into the beam will take the person to their chosen location. Depending on the light source, color and facets of the crystal, a pathfinder can be made to reach a variety of places. Elves are only allowed to have a pathfinder when they reach a certain point on their nexus, a safety mechanism for elves who are new to the process.
In the first book, Fitz uses a pathfinder to introduce Sophie to the Elvin world. Sophie mockingly refers to it as a "magic wand" and questions the physics behind the device's function.
Where the Known Crystals Lead[]
As previously mentioned, different colors of crystals can lead to different places. The different colored crystals will lead to:
| Color | Goes To | Used By |
|---|---|---|
| Clear | The Lost Cities | Everyone that has met the appropriate age requirements. |
| Blue | The Forbidden Cities | Restricted to the Council and authorized members of the Nobility, though many others use it illegally. |
| Yellow | The Neutral Territories | Restricted to the Council and authorized members of the nobility |
| Black-not a crystal but magisdian | The Gateway to Exile (and other places, depending on how the magsidian crystal is cut) | Restricted to the Council and authorized members of the nobility - though the Neverseen have been seen using them |
| Green | Ravagog (and other ogre-related locations) | Restriced to the Council and authorized members of the nobility |
| Opalescent Pink | Unknown locations (These crystals are said to have added security measures) | Restricted to members of the Black Swan |
| Purple | Alluveterre | Restriced to members of the Black Swan |
| Orange | Marintrylla (and other troll-related locations) | Restricted to the Council and authorized members of the nobility |
| Red | Gildingham (and other goblin-related locations) | Restricted to the Council and authorized members of the nobility |
| Swirled white, silver & Gold | Uses the power of the Prime Sources | Restricted to the Council |
