I don't suppose that there is anyone who happen to know if there is anywhere where you can find distances and/or travel times between various towns/cities/places in the Realms, especially in the North, along the Swordcoast, and in the Dales and Cormyr regions?
I know that the Wiki has a few distances mentioned here and there, and the old Forgotten Realms Atlas (I think it was called) also had a distance calculator, though I believe that it measured in a direct line, rather than along the roads. But would anyone happen to have a compiled a collective list of distances between points in the Realms? |

Does not seem to have the travel times for Silver Marches destinations. Am I just missing it? |

Which map is this again? Is it available? |

The maps also provide handy rough hints: “rest stops“ (usually a small inn/tavern with stable and a water hole, sometimes adjunct to a small village or military outpost) are indicated along many roads, basically spaced apart about a half- or full-day‘s ride. Although they usually assume a slow ride, the sort of pace a mule-drawn wagon or caravan could sustain, not the faster pace most players might prefer. |

Apply the modifier, riding would take 2.4 days, walking though would take 7.5 days, the 6 days is for a cavern take the 6 days. Also remember this is travel on established roads, some of which might be slower because of tolls, speed limits, or other factors.
Also roads might have changed since this travel estimator was made.
Edit: Inserted word cavern, that I intended to type before. |

Can someone else look at this and tell me if I'm reading it wrong; is it saying the trip from Zhentil Keep to the Citadel of the Raven takes six days?
•The Zhentilar Trail (Zhentil Keep to Citadel of the Raven): 6
•Citadel of the Raven, 6

Hidden so well that I never noticed it!! 
Yeah. I had to skip through the book twice, actually, to re-find it. I knew it was in the book but didn't find it the first time i searched for it. Hidden too well, I'd say. ;) |

@Kris: you're welcome. I'm just sorry I can't reference the author as I don't know - I picked up the link myself from some other thread long ago.

Sweet little travel time calculator you've got there. Thanks for linking it!

The North box set (the 2e update of Waterdeep and the North) contains a table listing travel times by sea to various ports up and down the Sword Coast. There isn't a corresponding table for land caravan routes, though. |

There is a pretty good treatment of the issue of travel times and methods to and fro throughout the region given in the old 'Waterdeep and the North' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterdeep_and_the_North) and 'The Savage Frontier' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Savage_Frontier) gazetteers.
I'm not sure if those got updated for 3E in the "City of Splendors: Waterdeep' book (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/City_of_Splendors:_Waterdeep)? |
