Last I played it was 5 leagues to a hex. The land expands to 2692 miles e-w and 3521 n-s.<br /><br />It was easy to figure out movement at 1 league an hour for a party limited to travel by foot.<br /><br />The overlords and world emperors are a little more impressive ruling over 11 times as much area as well.JDJarvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691101939920824546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7652921.post-91427897753909964082011-07-11T01:25:18.653-05:002011-07-11T01:25:18.653-05:00Let's see a comparison of the Forgotten Realms...Let's see a comparison of the Forgotten Realms and Canada.

I love how there's always these awesome little tidbits buried or added almost as an afterthought or an aside among posts where you deal with larger issues. Not that I don't enjoy the posts proper, but I wait for these.
