'''The Marauder's Map''' is the [[Pirate]] [[quest artifact]] in the original Pirate role [[patch]] by Nephi. It is the prize for completing the [[Pirate quest]], and its default [[alignment]] is chaotic. Its base item type is a [[scroll of magic mapping]].

==Generation==
For Pirates, The Marauder's Map is always generated on the goal level of the Pirate quest, where it is placed on the same square as the [[Major General]] along with the [[Bell of Opening]]. If a Pirate loads a [[bones]] level containing the quest artifact, it will always be reverted to its base item.

==Description==
A hero [[reading]] The Marauder's Map will map the current [[dungeon level]] they are on with the same effects as a normal scroll of magic mapping of the same [[beatitude]], but the [[artifact]] will not be used up afterward—as an artifact, The Marauder's Map also cannot be [[blanked]] or destroyed by [[Fire (element)|fire]]. [[Invoking]] The Marauder's Map grants [[object detection]] as with [[Potion of object detection|a potion]] of the same beatitude, marking the locations of all items that are currently on the level.

==Origin==
{{wikipedia|Harry Potter}}
The Marauder's Map is a magical item from ''Harry Potter'', a franchise originating from a series of seven fantasy novels written by British author Joanne Rowling, who is sometimes known by "Joanne Murray" and the pen name "J. K. Rowling". The novels chronicle the lives of the titular young wizard as he attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and learns of his connection to Lord Voldemort, a dark wizard who intends to become immortal and subjugate the wizarding world and "mundane" world alike.

Within the setting, The Marauder's Map is a magical map of Hogwarts created by a group of wizards while they were still students at the school, and Harry is given the map in the third book so he can travel to Hogsmeade through a hidden passageway. The map is a blank piece of parchment when not in use, but it becomes a detailed layout of Hogwarts when it is activated using the phrase "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good". It shows the locations of secret passages and instructions on how to access them, which is why it is represented by a scroll of magic mapping in the Pirate patch, and also depicts the location of every individual at Hogwarts in real-time, including their movements.
