Court of the Fallen
Map

    Caido is a continent roughly 9 million km2 (approximately the size of China)

    Traveling around Caido

    Caido is roughly the size of China and is spread across several regions. Whilst we make use of liquid time on the site, below you can find some information on modes of travel to help you navigate the world realistically.

    Skyships

    Skyships are floating boats that can sail between established ports. Currently, there are skyports in Halo (in the Citadel), the Greatwood (in the Sidhe Village), Torchline (at the Kaiholo Port), and Stormbreak (the Skyport). Skyships can also land in King’s End (the Boondocks), and near the Climb (carefully, though!)

    On Foot/Shifted

    On CotF we assume that people can travel 30-50km per day (based on your END stat). With animal shifts this amount will change, so in order to make use of the map below, Google the average movement speed of your animal or how far they can travel in a day, and divide it by the distance you want to travel. Mythical animals are generally capable of 2x speed, and demigods or others who have maxed out their stats can push the upper limits of travel as well.

    Note: The Draig Cordillera that bisects Caido is incredibly treacherous to cross. When trying to walk/fly through the mountains, triple the amount of time it would normally take. Wagons never cross through here.

    By Wagon

    You can assume that there are always various wagons going from region to region and within the Wilds. Frequency is based on that location’s Regional Score. You can triple walking speed to have an idea of how much ground these wagons can cover in a day.

    Portals

    During the Voice’s time on Caido, a number of portals were established across the continent that provided immediate and convenient access to the rest of the world. With her death, the portals went offline and no longer function as a means of travel. Stepping into a portal now does nothing.

    The Settled Lands
