Travel

There are different forms of travel on Elara. The easiest and least expensive is obviously "by foot," but this isn't always the most practical. Sometimes an animal, and sometimes a vehicle, would simplify the travel, and cut down on the duration of the journey. The chart below lists many of the most common forms of travel, their relative costs (an estimated guideline), and their speeds, as well as cargo carrying capacity.
