In Early mediaeval times there were seven kingdoms in what is now England, two or more in what is now Scotland, and about four principalities in what is now Wales. At least thirteen kingdoms, five language groups, and four cultures on an island that would fit in between my house and the state capital.Costs. "After four days riding through the plains, you run out of fresh food." "That's, umm, seventeen days' travel: 4 ozols a night for your beds in inns, one ozol a night for each servant, and seven ozols a nights for each horse, plus five ozols per day for meals for PCs, thee ozols per day for meals for servants, and eight ozols per day for fodder for horses, umm, 47 ozols per day for each of you. Throw in an ozol per day for incidental expenses and call it eight drams per day. Not counting the wages of your servants it's going to cost each of you six and a half bezants to get to Ekbatana."Change of seasons: "You set out from Persepolis just as the blossom is falling from the plums. The fields are green with new barley in Medea, the cherries ripe when you reach the Pontehellenico. The Alten plain seems half deserted as you cross it, because the men are away with the cattle in the high pastures, and the women are making hay for next winter. The acorns are falling from the oaks as you cross the Durane Mountains, and when you reach Aquileia the vintage has begun."Dates, festivals, and anniversaries: "You spend your first wedding anniversary on the Spanish Main. Ineffabelle is a thousand leagues away."Progress of events: "When you get to Poros more news has arrived from Sunderland. Philippus was assassinated on St John's Eve: the Isles have revolted, and Devlin has taken out the fleet to restore Gyrmorian rule." "When you pass through Kyropylae on the way back Lysandra is married, and has a grey-eyed toddler clinging to her skirts. The boy looks a lot more like you than he does like Bob."Regards,Agback{edited to mend coding}</blockquote>
