Travel Time - Chapter 1

[Ze'Rehan]

Anyone else notice that the travel time in the very beginning is very unrealistic?

Campaign starts at Breachill. You set out to Saringallow. It says that they will be taking a straight line to Saringallow instead of taking the river. AP says that it should take half a week. However, if you measure it out, it is near 500 miles between the 2 locations. Using a horse drawn cart, they will move at 32 miles a day. This puts it at 15.625 days traveling. Also, the players would cross 2 rivers, while the AP puts them at crossing a single river.

I am hoping that the rest of the AP doesn't have travel time as "hand waved" as the start, because it really doesn't line up.

The problem is actually that the scale bar of the map in the book is wrong by a factor of 10. If you look at older maps of Isger or the Pathfinder wiki interactive map, that distance is more like 50-60 miles, which is more reasonable to expect to take half a week.

Oh? That is good to know!
