The world of Elder Soteria home to many, the main continent is home to the 10 Kingdoms of Man, who have been at peace for 1000 years.
Map Scale / Travel Time
On the above map, each Hex is about 90 km from corner to opposite corner. To calculate traveling times we figure that the party takes a break every 4-6 hours, given the average walking speed is about 5 kph and average horse speed is 6.5 kph. For ease of calculations we figure about 12 hours of daylight, this varies depending on time of year though.
- Walking - 1 Hex / 18 Hours for Travel + 4 Hours for Breaks
- For simplicity sake we will say that 1 Hex is 2 days travel walking.
- Riding - 1 Hex / 14 Hours /w Horse Walking for Travel + 3 Hours for Breaks
- For this we will say 1 Hex is about a day and a half.
- Riding - 1 Hex / 7 Hours /w Horse Jogging for Travel + 5 Hours for Breaks
- This gets the travel time down to a days ride. It should be noted, however, that jogging for 7 hours would be very stressful on a horse. Someone who knows more than myself about horses would need to weigh in on how realistic this is.
Economy
The world has a largely pre-industrial civilization running on agricultural trade.
Ecology
Elder Soteria is a lush and green world with a single moon orbiting. Seasons equate roughly with those one would see on Earth of Southern Europe with fairly mild weather over most of its surface.
Continuity
Elder Soteria is the planet otherwise known as Schatten III in the Schatten Star System of the Blazing Umbra Setting, just 1 billion years prior to the events of that setting.
