TRAVEL COMPANIONS:
Kali'rial (+Sarkis) + Niv
ESTIMATED DEPARTURE DATE (SCALVORIS):
1 Zi'da 717
ESTIMATED ARRIVAL DATE (NE'HAER):
1 Ashan 718
This estimates a purely hypothetical "perfect" travel time of 123 trials of travel non-stop, but we all know this trip won't be non-stop. Not a chance in Emea. There will be misadventures, storms, and other such fun at sea as well as several stops at regions/cities along the route.

In all honesty, this plot arc is probably more like a 1-2 year arc of travel, considering the regions/cities we'd like to travel to along the way.
Leaving in Zi'da and hitting up Andaris, Rynmere, then Rharne, and then either Etzos or straight travel to Ne'Haer means that if we spend part of the season in each location (a ten-trial, two ten-trials, four, etc.), then the trip will of course be lengthened. It depends on the conditions of each city, especially since currently (Saun 717) all of Rynmere is now anti-magic and keen on slavery, then that's a dangerous location. Let's not even begin to theorize the condition of Etzos by Cylus 717 or later. That's just it's own bag o' crazy. Rharne may be a long stay, possibly an entire season (Cylus? Ashan?), so arrival times in Ne'Haer could be as late as Ymiden, Vhalar, or even Zi'da 718.
That's an
entire year of travel. At least. It could be up to two years.
This is a big commitment, friends!

Scalvoris → Andaris | 52 trials | 52 trials |
Andaris → Rharne | 32 trials | 84 trials |
Rharne → Etzos | 30 trials | 114 trials |
Etzos → Ne’Haer | 54 trials | 168 trials |
Total Travel Time | — | 168 trials |
Departure from Scalvoris of 1 Zi'da 717 with this route means an Estimated Arrival in Ne'Haer of Ashan 45, 718 if no time is taken in each city. Obviously, there will be, so Estimated Arrival could be late Ashan or as late as 1 Ymiden 718, depending on what happens during travel.
