Travel Guide
Table of Contents
SEE ALSO: World Travel
This article is intended to facilitate understanding of travel within 'Souls from one place to another -- there are sometimes great distances between packs, and it is unrealistic if your character walks for ten minutes and encounters their borders, right?
It may help you to look at the map while you're trying to figure out distances. Notice that the map has squares -- these squares indicate distance in square miles. Each square is ten square miles; thus, heading directly across the square for travel is ten miles of travel. If you want to calculate how long it will take you to reach a certain place, you can count the squares on the map. The number of squares your character moves times ten is equal to the number of miles they will travel.
Average Speeds
Remember that these speeds are only averages. Take into account injuries or other impediments to fast travel, and remember that Secui forms possess less endurance than either Lupus or Optime forms.
