Mrs. Coulter, a wealthy "friend" of the college, invites Lyra to stay with her in London. The Master of the college entrusts Lyra with her uncle's alethiometer, a compass-like artefact that reveals the truth, warning her to keep it secret. Kidnappers called "Gobblers" have been abducting children, including Lyra's friend Roger and Billy Costa, a young Gyptian. Lyra discovers Mrs. Coulter is head of the General Oblation Board, realising they are the Gobblers, and she and Pan escape when Mrs. Coulter's dæmon attempts to steal the alethiometer.
Ever wonder why those strange red stones spring to life when a human ventures near? Stories say it thrives off mankind's inherent nature to explore the unknown. And, in sensing that, it's own nature to connect worlds is brought to life. My gut tells me, though, the stones are simply a force of nature. Same as how a compass needle points toward enlightenment or death, indifferent to the wanderlust or wellbeing of the one holding it."
Guest are immediately drawn to the natural beauty of the main salon. The ornate Italian marquetry inlay of the large custom bar, entertainment center, and game table are striking features along with the coordinating custom granite countertops, tables, custom art work, and compass medallion entry. This area features the bar with 4 large armed chairs, a large couch, a round reversible (game/formal) table with 4 large arm chairs, a home theater system including all regions 50" pop up TV, DVDs, SAT receivers, iPod dock, Wii, and access to the central movie, music, and photo distribution system. Aft and to port is the staircase leading down to the lower guest foyer, around which four large en suite guest cabins are located.
The top deck is accessed by a staircase from the upper portside deck and encompasses the complete upper level of GOLDEN COMPASS. Forward on this deck is a Jacuzzi tub, large sun pads, seating areas, a full service bar, bar seating, a full back bar (both covered in exotic stone) with ice maker and refrigerator, a large stainless BBQ, and 4 chaise lounge chairs. Aft on this deck there is an expansive sun bathing pad. Above the bar is a water proof 42" flat screen TV with access to DVD player, iPod dock, and the central movie, music, and photo distribution system. This quality entertainment and sound system has prompted evening guests to turn this area from a sunning area into another dance floor with unobstructed ocean views.
You can begin the treasure hunt for the compass as soon as you're done with Day 1 of School, but completion of the treasure hunt will require access to areas and events that you can only unlock through other paths. How to unlock the areas and events will be detailed in the relevant parts of the walkthrough.
When a player obtains this item from a step of a treasure trail, they receive the following message: While solving the clue, you find a golden compass. It has been added to your inventory. When obtained at the end of a trail, a server-wide broadcast is triggered: News: [Player] completed a Treasure Trail and received a golden compass!
Editions of the entire trilogy with covers of the film poster were published after the film's release. Editions of Once Upon a Time in the North, published the year after in 2008, contained a golden sticker on the cover promoting the film.
