World of Beyond the Old West Road
The area surrounding Last Light and Faldor's Holdfast
INTRODUCTION
At the start of the adventure, the area represented in this map is considered common knowledge to both the PCs as well as the local population. Further exploration, investigation, or the purchase of (rare and expensive) maps is required to reveal the as-of-yet formally unknown zones!
SIZE
It is projected as a hex map, with each hex measuring an area of 2 standard leagues across (approximately 6 miles or 10 kilometers). This covers an area of roughly 65 square kilometers (8495 hectares). In the world of Beyond the Old West Road, the standard unit of measuring distance is the league.
TRAVEL
Effectively this means that a healthy individual can comfortably traverse two hexes of
open terrain
or one hex of
rough terrain
in 1
Parts of the Day
. A rider can cover that same distance in half the time when traveling through open terrain. Travel by road also adds an additional hex per quarter day. The journey from Last Light to Faldor's Holdfast can therefore be undertaken in less than half a day by default.
