@roflo1 was more fast then me @Maidhc O Casain

I understand your point of view and thank you very much for the suggestions.

I also consider that distances on maps, especially "medieval" ones, are anything but accurate, since at that time there was no geolocation. :D

Having a scale that indicates approximately how many kilometers are from one point to another is valid, but disregards the distance variables such as the number of curves, ups and downs that demand the relief and that directly influence the final distance. that is, one way or another the distance will never be exact. an example of this are mountain scales, it shows the physical distance from point A to B, but the complexity of the relief will directly influence the final distance, since more zigzag will be needed to cross the mountain.

since I was little I use these rpg story maps as references that don't influence my story much if city A or B is 53.7 kilometers or 64.9. This difference of approximately 10km represents approximately 1.5 hours of walking and does not change the total context of the story. normally I would take a ruler and measure the scale, then measure point A to B and convert to distance. added 15% more distance (through the curves) and divided by 30km/day = so many travel days.

not using the grid above all, and only below the cartoons and text is a matter of personal aesthetic choice.

for example where I live, it is 800 meters above sea level and the top of the mountains is 2200 meters. by the scale of a medieval map it would be only 1.4 kilometers of ascent, but the path to the top is 18 kilometers only to climb on one side, on the other side of the mountains there are approximately 60 kilometers of lowland and on the google earth scale they represent only 12 km.

As Sutat now have sheeps with shadows 🤣

cemeteries are always cool <3
