Defenders of the Forest - Liber Fanatica

Elves with both the Common Knowledge (Athel Loren) and
Performer (Singer) skills may travel to any location without
requiring a Navigation Test. Instead, the player must describe
a short myth, and then pass a Performer (Singer) test modified
by the location’s Navigation rating. If successful, travellers
may reach their destination in half the normal amount of time.
Chapter VII: The Forest of
Athel Loren
On a failed test, travellers arrive at a different location of the
GM’s choice. Elves with both of these skills never become Lost
in the Forest, nor do they ever require Navigation Trials. Used
individually or shared between two characters, neither skill can
reveal the Songlines; the two skills must be used in combination,
and by only one character.
