Travel Times Greetings Mizaharians!
Its time we solved this travel time problem once and for all. So, I've been thinking and thinking and thinking about it and I finally have a solution. I'm going to start from one city and determine all the places you can realistically get to from that city and calculate travel times based on means of travel, season, and skill.
So... I need folks working on this to help. We'll make decisions as a group and carefully map a few things... like shipping routes, easiest overland routes, etc.
I'll probably work region by region. Hows this going to manifest?
Lets take Alvadas for example:
Alvadas to Riverfall
Alvadas to Denval
Alvadas to Sultros
Alvadas to Kalinor
Alvadas to Syliras
Alvadas to Kenash
Alvadas to Karjin
Alvadas to Black Rock.
Now, we don’t care about Alvadas to say Avanthal because what we would care about instead is Alvadas to say Denval, then move to Denval’s distances to find out the distance between Denval and Spires… then Spire’s distance chart to find out Spires to Avantha’s distance.
So… What does a committee member do?
1. Decide what locations are relevant and necessary for inclusion on their city’s travel list.
2. Work on determining all the factors that might impede travel (such as raw wilderness, mountains, snowfall, etc)
3. Work with OTHER committee members of domains your routes touch to agree on the correct distances and times.
All of us are going to start with the base distance of Syliras to Zeltiva taking 15 days riding fast horses and changing mounts quickly. From there we’ll work out all the rest of the distances.
So... would you like to help? If so sign up here with your name and what city/area you want to work in.
