Drow Wars map scale

[Graphil]

I'm struggling with this since very few maps in the series come with a scale. What I'm specifically looking for is the distance by boat and overland for the trip to Crom Calimar at the start of Book 2. Any ideas?

My guess would be about 300 miles or so.

That makes it about 12-13 days on foot if they go through Ghael (although it'll take longer if they're trying to avoid encounters with Ghaels). If they go by sea then it would take about 3 days to get down to Crescent City and 5-6 days by sea from there.

I did a little bit more hunting after your reply. The island of Chilllhame is about 100 miles across since it does have a scale on the map. Now using that on the world map Caldraza is about 1000 miles across meaning a trip by boat to Crom Calimar will be 30 days.

This is a case where it's probably best for ships to travel at "speed of plot." If the PCs are low in level relative to their next challenges, a few 'random' encounters might spice up the journey. Otherwise, I think an "After an uneventful journey..." from the GM (save the salient plot points as outlined in the adventure) might be best.

Indeed. Also I've worked out that the boat trip from Crom Calamar to Xoth will take 60 days based on that scale. That is a lot of random encounters.
