Getting Where You're Going

Airship Travel

Unsurprisingly, there are a number of airship routes which connect to the island of Stormhome. Because there are obviously no lightning rail lines which connect to the island, airships are the only rapid transportation that travelers in a hurry have access to. The most commonly-used route connects to Thaliost, Flamekeep, and Fairhaven before returning to Stormhome. Airships ply this circular route in both directions so that someone can expect an airship once a day traveling either clockwise or counterclockwise to the next city in the rotation. Between Fairhaven and Stormhome there is also an direct route which means two airships daily between the City of Lights and the City of Escapes. Those traveling to Fairhaven will find other airships heading south to Wroat and Sharn among other southern locations. A third airship route connects to Korth and from there travelers can find airships, lightning rails, and other conveyances to destinations in the east.

Destination	Travel Time	Fare
Fairhaven (twice daily)	32 hours	640 gp
Flamekeep	43 hours	860 gp
Korth	30 hours	592 gp
Sharn	132 hours	2,640 gp
Thaliost	20 hours	400 gp
Wroat	110 hours	2,200 gp

Ocean Travel

For those who don't want to pay the extravagant prices of airship travel, the old-fashioned method of traveling to and from Stormhome remains. Lyrandar ships have plied the waters around Khorvaire for thousands of years and todays vessels and crews treat most water major routes like well-known friends. House Lyrandar's elementally-driven ships leave commonly from Stormhome to destinations in the Five Nations, though captains are generally reluctant to bring their vessels close to the dead-gray mists of the Mournland. Sailing vessels from the Five Nations, though, and the sleek Lazhaar rakers travel from Stormhome to pretty much anywhere a traveler might want to go, provided they have the coin to pay for the journey. Vessels docked at Stormhome are usually ocean-going vessels, however, and not equipped for travel up rivers, even those as deep as the waterways leading into Scions Sound. Some Lyrandar elemental ships are able to adjust their draft while in rivers, but usually a traveler will have to change vessels once they reach a certain port (like Daskaran heading up the Aundair River or Korth heading up the Karrnath) and will continue on from there. Prices and distances below take such journeys as if they were a single trip and can provide adventurers with reference points to plan their journeys.
