Winter cruise
Discussion thread for Winter cruise. If you would like to add a comment, click the Post Reply button.
This is something I used in my last seafaring game. It's a way to a) get characters to explore the world, and b) maximizes use of Brecht shipping.

I think it takes a lot less, if one were to race, but I am assuming the individual ships of the Fleet would stop a lot for a few weeks here and there for trading and tourism. Also, since the Great Bay (especially its mouth) freezes, they need to leave before it freezes, and cannot come back until it is open. It might be closer to 4 months than 6, but that's largely up to the DM, isn't it?

And a bag of dice.
The reason I'm asking is if you have calculated somehow, depending on the weather, the type of the ship and so on, etc., to say that it takes this much or that much. Perhaps even by a particular route. Maybe Khinasi have favorable winds, or Vos pirates make the fleet sail faster or further from the coast. Even so, how do they pass Leviathan and where do they resupply on the east... things like that.Rey M. - court wizard of Tuarhievel

I'd expect that the White Witch is very happy to trade, as is Halskapa, most Anuirean nations, the khinasi, etc. Basically you have ships full of traders and rich people, everyone likes to see them...
Which way around Cerilia the ships go will depend on winds and currents, as for how long, young nobles might well go on one years winter cruise, and go back on the next spending a year and a half away, I can well see fostering arrangements being common, attendance at universities, etc - and of course long boisterous parties safely away from the wagging tongues of Brecht society...
It works both ways, a young Anuirean noble who would benefit from a period of 'reflection' might travel back with the Brecht for a while - for example a young noble who gets pregnant might leave before she shows and come back after the babe is weaned thus avoided scandal...
