[Folklore] A Stray Sod is an enchanted clump of grass. When one steps on the clump, it triggers a magic spell and under the influence of this spell, all the familiar landmarks have disappeared. The road you walked upon is suddenly gone and no matter how hard you look, it can not be seen again. In other cases, a traveler can suddenly notice that he is walking in a completely different direction, and no matter which way he turns, he cannot find the right direction again. The spell can be lifted by wearing the clothes inside out (a well tested method).
