Vehicles are large, enclosed transports of goods like trading caravans (see HELP CARAVANS). They are used, for the most part, to lend a safety to transporting larger volumes of valuable commodities about the land - between villages and/or distant trading posts, and the city or guild's main commodity storehouses and sheds. Vehicles are too large to be LEAD or WHEELed around, like carts, and must instead be entered and STEER'd about the land (if there is no driver brought in for the purpose).

Syntax: ENTER <vehicle> and OUT.

Use these commands to enter and leave an enclosed vehicle.

Syntax: STEER <direction>.

You are able to steer a vehicle, providing there is no other driver challenging your position at the 'controls' and can steer it all about the land. There are a few noteworthy restrictions, such as small interior locations, into which big vehicles like trading caravans cannot be taken.

It is also possible to OPEN and CLOSE the doors to an enclosed vehicle, and even to fit locks to the vehicle's doors, to LOCK/UNLOCK - for added security for the driver charged with the duty of ferrying important commodities.
