 * Quest-related NPCs

 * Skill Trainer
 * Traders

World Map Appearance
Outposts are annotated on the continental map (default key "M") using different icons in different campaigns:

Note: The map icon will update depending on the Mission rewards you have received:
 * In Prophecies, the icon shows 1 sword after completing the mission and 2 swords after completing the bonus mission.
 * In Factions, the icon shows 1 sword, 2 swords, or 2 swords &amp; 1 spear after (respectively) receiving the Standard, Expert, or Master's reward.
 * In Nightfall, the icon shows 1 sickle, 2 sickles, or 2 sickles &amp; 1 spear after (respectively) receiving the Standard, Expert, or Master's reward.
 * In Factions and Nightfall, the color of the icon also changes: gold for Canthan, blue for Kurzick, and red for Luxon.
 * In Hard mode, the mission icon changes from red to gold after completion, with Flamberges corresponding to the level of reward earned.
