Message: <blockquote data-quote="Remathilis" data-source="post: 8211387" data-attributes="member: 7635">This is where I am, with the added element of possibly entering the Shadowfell itself once you pass a domain's borders.For example, a group of adventurers attempt to leave Lamordia to get to Mordent. They reach the border of Lamordia, which is open because Adam is having a good day. To get to Mordent, they have two options.1.) Enter the veil of Mists and arrive in the Shadowfell, which appears as a gloomy road along an even gloomier forest. They travel this road, which is bereft of other travelers, watch out for undead and shadowy monsters that prowl the roads. After X amount of time (days, weeks, hours?) they make it to another wall of Mist and enter Mordent. Of course, this is assuming the information they were given was accurate and the Dark Powers willing...2.) They hire a guide (Vistani, Anchorites of Ezra, etc.) to use a mistway to bypass the shadowfell. This makes travel faster, but Mistways have their own special sort of dangers and finding a willing guide isn't always possible, nor are there mistways between every domain at any given time....This doesn't also preclude OTHER options, like a mysterious railway that emerges from the mists to ferry travelers to other domains, for a price (in reality, perhaps its own transitive demi-domain?) or in a place like Mordent, you could hire a ship to sail the Sea of Sorrows to reach other island or coastal domains rather than brave the Shadowfell or Mistways (again, with its own unique dangers and horrors).Travel remains possible, but more unreliable. Someone like Van Richten or other heroes could do it, as could some braver traders, merchants, and sailors. The Church of Ezra's unique connection to the Mists would be welcomed and it would explain its quick adoption via traveling missionaries. Likewise, the Vistani would be welcomed (if not openly) for the news and goods they bring from foreign lands.All still possible, even without a mapped core.</blockquote>
