[QUOTE="SuperTD, post: 8091625, member: 6776899"] So doing some more digging i think you're right, though the adventure isn't making it as easy as I'd like. For instance, it says that travel by road is even faster than across tundra, but never gives us actual road travel speeds (which are still much lower than normal road travel). It seems they were shooting for about 1.5 mph by foot on roads based on the distances given in the "Targos to Caer-Konig" section of the Targos quest, and cross referencing with the travel time sections to neighboring towns listed in the Bryn Shander and Caer-Dineval town sections. However, the Targos to Caer-Konig section also says that it's 23 miles from Bryn Shander to Caer-Dineval, but this trek takes 10.5 hours - a walking speed of 2.2 mph. And just for fun, a dogsled can do the entire 29 mile trip from Targos to Caer-Konig in 7 hours - a speed of over 4 mph. I don't know whether they intended different trails to have people move along them at different speeds, but it's certainly made me realise that including a section at the start for "Road Travel" along with the existing Overland Travel and Mountain Travel tables would be very helpful, especially if The Eastway is meant to be a better, more easily traveled road..
