An Ancient Enemy

The Silvaran army would have to head southwest to reach the border between Silvara and Romantica, where the land of Silvara would curl and touch the northern tip of Romantica. 

The only invasion route would be by the vast ocean. A choice that could take weeks to traverse. Because of the deadly sea monsters and maelstroms that plagued the central ocean of Valkrim. 

The queen's special fleet suffered over fifty casualties when she returned early during the assessment month earlier in the year.

On land, thanks to magic-imbued carriages. The distance between the two would take three days at the slowest and one if you rushed with all your might. 

Barbatos reached the southern tip in two days. Neither too slow nor wasting their magic for future battles.
