First thing you need to know is that there is way more to all of this than just a simple good-versus-evil, warring kingdoms deal. Things happen, all the time, on both sides. Things that are completely out of the ordinary. So, time to buckle in for an absolutely insane ride. Second thing you need to know is that if you ever want to get anywhere faster than a horse... Too bad for you. Staying at whichever Caer you've wound up at is a lot less annoying, time-wise. But, of you feel like refreshing your sense of civilization - assuming you even come from actual civilization, which some people don't, but I'll get to that in a minute - you're going to have to hop a wagon or a horse or some other form of totally primitive transportation, and come to the Station. It's essentially neutral ground, and the only place around here that actually has a decent latte.

With me so far?
