Pyrex said:Interesting point. There are three distinct regions that have been warded (north of the high wood, the high wood and Heirakonpolis).
I hadn't considered that different entities could be responsible for warding each area.
Yes, now we are forced to traverse the actual distance between our origin and our destination, like... like non-epic characters! The pain! The humiliation! My wings are sore already...
On a more serious note, Thor warding his army means he is expecting trouble, this could mean that he is being prudent and not expecting those who is intending to walk over to be passive until he arrives or the he has already been attacked by teleporting foes (possibly the cause of the attack).
Also the dwarves are more than likely warded as well, otherwise he would just jump to them and save his army a march.
