New to EQ1 - Lost in Neriak

[RagingKiwiPlays]

I'm quite new to EQ1, I've come from the live servers of EQ to have a dabble in P99.

I've come as far as making a Necromancer, and logging in. Immediately I was lost with no direction. So I looked up a guide for new players and it mentioned to read the note (had to figure out how to do that on my own) and find my way to my guildmaster.

This is where I have spent the past couple hours, wandering aimlessly with no maps (M button isn't bringing up maps, checked the keybind and its correct. Also downloaded more maps, still no maps.

So guys I am just completely lost. overwhelmed, and a bit annoyed that I don't have any 'Find' option and no Maps. I guess that's a QOL feature that's not in this release, can anyone help me figure out a way to get my bearings?
