**Reconnoitre** is a Verb available in the Exile Legacy. Using **Reconnoitre** with your current location yields opportunities, distractions and sun positions. There is a 30% chance that this will create a Trace. What opportunities, distractions or sun positions you can draw is dependent on the City you're in. Some cities have unique Shrine Locations or Ligeian Presence Distractions which can also be found with Reconnoitre.
