Dragons
can go between, covering vast distances nearly instantly. This often gives
players the mistaken impression that all the geographic locations on the continent
are really quite close together. Unfortunately, this couldn't be less true.
The Southern Continent is huge, and travel is further slowed down by the dense
jungle, swamps, rivers, and vicious wildlife. Read more about traveling on
this continent to form a better picture of just how large it really is.

the access from one point to the other is unpassable, generally due to a river
crossing.
