[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5697669, member: 40413"] [sblock=Geography pt. 3?]No, upriver. I'm going to preface the following by saying it would probably be a lot easier to be extremely vague about travel times. Say we travel for a long time and not really worry about anything else since I don't believe it matters much for the actual adventure. However... if you really want to calculate it out as closely as possible the map I posted [url=http://www.enworld.org/forum/talking-talk/279251-tavern-thread-dunn-wright-inn-119.html#post5691310]HERE[/url] will help. I took the approved map that Mowgli posted moved the scale bar from the bottom of the map to the top, cropped it down to the relevant area and tried to zoom in a bit for better clarity. My calculation is that it is roughly 1,000 miles from the mouth of the river at Venza to the headwaters near the 'Tal Hallow' map label. Upriver. Then about 75 miles across mountainous/hilly terrain to the tributary of the Ouhm. Downriver 600 miles to where the tributary meets the Ouhm. And then however far it is to Martna. A barge moves 5 miles per day. A keelboat moves 10. With no navigational hazards it would take three to six months to travel the length of the first river. Then there would be the overland journey and the trip down the tributary to Martna. A second route would be to sail to the mouth of the Ouhm and then up river to Martna. It's roughly 1,600 miles from Venza to the mouth of the Ouhm by way of the sea but one could sail traveling at 48+ miles per day or a little over a month to the city that sits at the mouth of the Ouhm and then however long to get upriver to Martna. An option that would decrease travel time and still keep the continuity of what we've done so far is to say that we travel a month up the river (or however long) on the Downpour then disembark to travel to one of the ancient gates that can be found on the continent. Place the destination gate nearer to Martna and we've cut off x amount of time. Yes, that map is [i]massive[/i].[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
