This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Blackmoor grew from a single Castle to include, first, several adjacent Castles (with the forces of Evil lying just off the edge of the world to an entire Northern Province of the Castle and Crusade Society's Great Kingdom.

Omega, Travel time from Cologne to Rome was one week for Roman Messengers after about 150 a.d., and about twenty days for a marching Legion

Thats fit people on a mission. My times are for not exactly fit people who are going at a more standard pace and a walk of possibly upwards of 950+ klm. If you can average 32klm a day you could cover that in just under a month. Beelining it you could cut that down to something like 750 klm and about 24 days. Remember the procession can only move as fast as the slowest member. But the more they push the more time gets shaved off.

This sounds like the makings of a fantastic Lion & Dragon campaign!

And to confirm what's been said here, the really major trade roads would be paved for the most part. Others would not be paved but would be well-maintained if they were secondary trade roads.
