Alright. Once Sosicly has her IC knowledge, her skills, guide, and more Miza I plan to ship her off to Mura. In the event no missahap happens or her illness doesn't kill her I have worked out a general travel time frame. Basically it would take a year to get there and back, this is what I have so far:

Kalinor--Alvadas (Early to Late Winter: 60-80 days land travel)
Alvadas--Syliras (Early to Mid-Spring: 30-40 days sea travel)
Syliras--Nyka (Late Spring to Mid-Summer: 60-70 days land travel)
Nyka--Mura (Late Summer to Early Autumn: 25-40 days sea travel)

Does this seem about right given the seasons and type of travel?

According to the Lore distance chart, it is 2000 miles in a straight line from Kalinor to Alvedas. There are no roads as such across The Unforgiving, and even if there were you might have to add fifty percent to the distance plus add in time (assuming you have the necessary skills) crossing mountains in the Winter. I'd say you might have to reconsider that one.

Your plans aren't going to work.


Kalinor--Alvadas (Early to Late Winter: 60-80 days land travel)
Alvadas--Syliras (Early to Mid-Spring: 30-40 days sea travel)
Syliras--Nyka (Late Spring to Mid-Summer: 60-70 days land travel)
Nyka--Mura (Late Summer to Early Autumn: 25-40 days sea travel)


You can't travel by land from Kalinor to Alvadas. There are no roads and its steep impenetrable mountains. You can go from Kalinor to the coast, catch a boat - maybe at the Sultros Southern Outpost - and sail north that way. It will take more time than you have alotted though.. especially since your traveling in winter, which makes it all but impossible to get out of Kalinor. Wait till spring.

Alvadas to Syliras is fine.

Again, there are no roads from Syliras to Nyka, so you'd need to go from Syliras to Zeltiva which takes about 30 days changing horses riding fast. Caravans take more time. From Zeltiva you could take a ship to Mura or Nyka straight. Depending on where you are going first... time varies.

But the point is, you can't get out of Kalea in the Winter. You'll die.

Wow. Gives me a lot to think about (and adjust in her history travels accordingly) but thank you guys for answering! Saved me a boat load of trouble (see what I did there :P) I’ve a few other questions then if you don’t mind.

If she could fine someone to take her, does it seem reasonable to just take a boat and head North towards Avanthal and get to Mura that way or is that not a known way? I’m thinking this could be possible, such as if she goes to Lhavit, the people in Lhavit know about the people in Wind Reach, WR knows about Avanthal knows about Novallas and from there go to Mura? But would this work since Novallas is not open for play?

Considering that seems less likely, by my count it should take roughly 150 days to get to Alvadas from Kalinor? Which would be nearly two seasons, does that seem about right?

So new timeline could look something like this for Northern Boating:

Kalinor—Lhavit (Early Spring to Mid-Spring: 45-60 days sea travel)
Lhavit—Thunder Bay, WR (is that supposed to be Storm Bay because the map says Storm Bay unless they are different??) (Early Summer to Late Summer: 60-90 days sea travel)

I skipped an entire two Seasons here because I figured you couldn’t sail to Avanthal in Autumn or Winter without certain death. Spring seemed more reasonable.

Thunder Bay, WR—Avanthal (Mid-Spring to Late Spring: 30-60 days sea travel and this one is so long because I figure icy waters in Avanthal)
Avanthal—Novallas (Early Summer to Late Summer: 60-90 days sea travel, if I can hit there I obviously would just ignore Sosicly until Spring rolls around to be able to play her sailing outside of Novallas)
Novallas—Mura (Early Spring to Late Spring: 60-90 days sea travel)

And new timeline for Alvadas boating would be:

Kalinor—Alvadas (Early Spring to Late Summer: 150 and up days sea travel)
Alvadas—Syliras (Early Autumn to Mid-Autmn: 40-50 days sea travel)
Syliras—Zeltiva (Early Spring to Late Spring: 45-60 days land travel)
Zeltiva—Mura (Early Summer to Late Summer: 60-90 days sea travel)
