Suggestion: create a ferry between the Krezk Outpost and Edrigan
APorg:
So I understand this map is a bit inaccurate, but I've checked other maps, and so far least the river connection seems to pan out.
From Krezk, the Luna river goes through Borca and joins the Musarde in Richemulot, flows through Lake Kriegvogel in Falkovnia, and then flows through most of Eastern Dementlieu.
Therefore it might be feasible for a ferry starting at the Krezk Outpost (which already exists in game) to set out along this route and, with an extra ferry ride across the Jewelry Box lakes, end up in Edrigan (also already in game). I think this would have some distinct advantages:
- It would give a travel route alternative to the teleporting Vistani, bringing a little diversity; it would also give the IC sense of such a trade route existing.
- A lemma to this -- it would reinforce the feeling that Dementlieu is west of Barovia -- not east of it.
- It would give some life to the Krezk Outpost and the Avenue du Progres in Dementlieu; both of these are meant to be major trade routes, but right now are more OOC dead-ends.
Now obviously there are some potential objections to this idea. It might make travel "too easy". Well, I don't think so;
- You still have to travel to the Krezk Outpost or to Edrigan, which are kinda out of the way. I've not timed it but it's probably going to take you about as long if not longer to walk from Edrigan to the Port as it would from Midway Haven to the Tser Pool.
- Since this is a ferry route, it would obviously close in winter, as the Vallaki lake ferry does.
- To represent the long distance travel, it might only depart at certain times of the day -- perhaps you have to catch it after 7am and before 8am, or else have to wait another IG day for the next one to take you.
- It might be quite expensive; after all, most ferries charge around 150 - 250 gold for relatively short distances. You might peg the price of this one at 800 fang or so, for a good gold sink. (By comparison it costs 450 gold to get to Dementlieu via ferry and two Vistani coaches.)
- You might even charge more for "protection" through Falkovnian territory -- or for going around it if it would have to use a land route through Richemulot rather than go through Falkovnia.
- You might have an extra long "wagon" transition, as per the Vistani wagons.
- Incidentally, the closing of this route by war (Falkovnian invasion or Dementlieuse civil unrest) might drive RP and a feeling of authenticity.
- And just to repeat, as a final point: Edrigan and Krezk aren't meant to be isolated, like Krofburg.
In short, I think that if correctly implemeted, this idea would bring a bit more authenticity and meaning as way stations to those areas, which they ought to have but currently lack.
APorg:
Oh, the price might be higher going down river (Krezk > Edrigan) than up river (Edrigan > Krezk); obviously the former requires less work...
Pav:
agree, approve, please implement, thank
Dumas:
I think it's a marvelous idea. Agree with all the points raised, Aprogressivist
Iridni Ren:
I think it would be a nice addition to the game.
The only question I would have (and I don't have the knowledge of the geography to answer this) is whether it would require the ferry go upstream against any falls.
