[If anything, the Brucolac's voice sounds worse than ever, painfully scratchy and distinctly weary. The reception isn't perfect; he's sitting in the garden of the fortress at Redgate, where the lockets work, but the blood granite is still causing some interference.]

So the rivers are the blood of your world, as the sea is ours? Or are there other, more popular routes of trade and travel?

That is true indeed. [ In some cases, curiosity is what drives people to traveling, to finding new places after all. Though he has never heard of a mortal trying to reach the Undying Lands without anyone knowing. ]

Perhaps, to some. It depends on where one lives. Villages nearer to lakes or large rivers will depend on fishing far more than other places. My kind for instance, we settle in kingdoms built within mountains, where we can mine for metals and stones, and we forge them. That is our trade.

Travel can work differently as well. Paths through the lands, most commonly, though some travel in small boats to cross rivers or lakes. I know too the great Eagles are capable of carrying people, if they choose to do so. But from what I can tell, horses and ponies are the most common choice.
