There are 16 map stones throughout Middle-earth that you can use to fast travel around the world. They are small Lego statues, on a pedestal, with a map in their hand. There is an achievement for activating all of the map stones within the game. But they so have another benefit. When you activate a map stone, it will place icons on the map to show you where the characters, mithril bricks, and fetch quests are. To activate it, stand on the circle of light in fornt of it and press B. To fast travel to a map stone, go into your map and find the map stone you want to fast travel to, then press A.
You will not need to hunt down the map stones to activate them. You can fast travel to a map stone before you have activated it, then activate it when you are there. This fact does make this guide a little redundant, but some people may want to do it the old fashioned way, so we have put it in anyway.
