Travel Assumptions

World Size and Shape

On the "Trade Routes" map, each square is a 20 mile x 20 mile square.

Although the world is round, there are magical barriers at the eastern/western edge which make crossing it difficult. As such, travel times by sea assume that these crossings are not made.

In general, Idalos is smaller compared to Earth. Some terrain anomalies are as a result of Immortal interference or major fractures (such as the frozen temperatures surrounding Treidhart, and the mild or even jungle terrain in Scalvoris).

Travel Speeds

By foot: 15 miles/day
By mount: 30 miles/day
By boat (small): 40 miles/day
By boat (medium-large): 65 miles/day
By flight: 60 miles/day
Mer swimming: 15 miles/day
Mer on sea mount: 30 miles/day

Other Assumptions

Small boats can be manned by a single PC, but need to hug the coast or travel along rivers. When traveling to an island, small boats can only be out of sight from land for 1-2 days. Medium to large boats need a much larger crew and can cross open water. Medium to large boats can still travel along main rivers, but they go at the speed of small boats due to reduced winds and navigating frequent meanders of the river. The main rivers are ones that can be seen on the Idalos world map, and range from 1-2 miles wide.

Flying beings can do a 60 mile 'sprint' to reach an island by traveling 30 miles/hour for two hours. Anything beyond 60 miles is out of reach for a flying being. They need to be at least expert level flying and expert level endurance to accomplish this.

Most travel times by land are assumed to have a road or cleared path. Jungle, forest, and swamps will require additional time to travel through if dense vegetation needs to be cleared or navigated around.
