Horse
Fast on the road and over long distances. A horse carries a rider and a small load, and needs feed, rest and care.
Speed · distance · ridingMounts, cargo & passage
Getting around the region.
Ride, carry, haul or take a ship. How you travel decides how far you get, what you can bring and which routes are open to you.
Rideable animals
Three animals you can ride.
Horses, donkeys and Bactrian camels are all planned as mounts. They differ in speed, in how much they carry, in the ground they handle and in where you will find them.
Donkey
Sure-footed on rough tracks. Ride it, load it with packs, or split the weight between you and your cargo.

Built for long, dry and cold inland routes. You will find camels where the trade routes and the historical record put them.

Carts & wagons
Carts move heavy cargo between settlements.
Carts carry grain, amphorae, tools, timber and quest cargo. They move large loads, but they need a passable road, animals to pull them and people willing to guard them.
- Load
- More capacity than a mount, with slower acceleration and difficult turns.
- Route
- Ruts, slopes, mud and damaged crossings can stop a journey.
- Risk
- Valuable cargo leads to escort, repair, recovery and ambush quests.
Ships & coastal passage
Ships connect the coast, islands and inland trade routes.
Board a merchant ship, travel with a cargo or cross a harbour in a small boat. The sea links inland farms and workshops to coastal markets, and reaches places a cart cannot.
- Passage
- Travel between ports as a passenger, guard or member of a cargo expedition.
- Trade
- Amphorae, timber, grain and equipment move through working harbours.
- Conditions
- Wind, season, port access and the vessel decide when a crossing is possible.
How travel works
Planning a journey.
- 01
Choose a route
Road, track, upland path, river crossing or coastal passage.
- 02
Match the load
Carry only what the rider, animal, cart or vessel can support.
- 03
Prepare the journey
Food, water, tack, repairs and local knowledge affect the attempt.
- 04
Live with the delay
Weather, injury, blocked roads and hostile territory can change the plan.
Animals in the world
Animals are part of daily life.
Care and produce
On farms and in households you can milk the goats, collect eggs, feed and groom animals, or help look after them. This gives you food, materials, goods to trade and local work.
Observe, avoid or hunt
Wild animals can be watched, tracked, avoided, driven off or hunted when you need food or a quest calls for it. Killing is possible, but it is rarely the first option.
