How far a horse travels in one day

[Mark Oliva]

Great. The last two postings make clear why the 25% figure and, also, that it probably is a pretty good figure.

Next question: One assumes that the jötnar with their added weight might crush those fussy sharp spots as they cross them, so would you give a jötunn a bonus against the penalty?

(You're already excused if you don't take that question too seriously.)

Bless!

Some easy travel time on home made maps, (no training, easy speed)

Manor/dungeon (sq): 20 sq/min
Town (sq): 3 sq/min
Municipality (hex): 1 min per hex
Province (hex): 3 hex/hour (15 hex/day for ready deployment of an Army)
Kingdom (hex): 2 hours per hex (4 hex/day for ready deployment of an Army)
Empire (sq): 1 week/sq for supplies, 2 weeks/sq for ready deployment of an Army

Jötunn... here is one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B6r%C3%B0 it is the Earth it self.

The brothers Ægir, Logi and Kári were also Jötnar, thay are representatives of the water, fire and wind. I believe Jörð to be there sister, witch makes them kin to the Thunder god Þór, as Jörð is his Mother, she had him with Óðin as a father.

To manifest the forces of nature as giants that walk the surface of the Alpahraun...

I would rule as a GM that they do not disturb the ground they walk on, as their shoes have magical powers that allow them to travel fast on the ground with little penalty. They are also larger and that will also give them more speed in overland travel without the use of their magic.

Here is one of the Þursar Surtur...

Sutr ferr sunnan
með sviga lævi:
skinn af sverði
sól valtiva

Jötnar are naturally good with nature, they merge well with nature and do not disturb it unless it is there will to change it in some way.

but there are so many variables... It simply boils down to a comparison to the Tolkien world. Jötunn would be something like like the Ainur and Þurs would be something like the Maia.
