The Phoenix Guards
“It is true, for example, that the distance from the Gate of the Darr to Ripple Point is scarcely a league, while it is a good thirty leagues from the Gate of Iron to Fosson’s Well, yet, because the latter is over level ground with a good road laid on it, while the former is nearly straight up a mountainside covered in loose and crumbling rock, we may in justice assert that each of these places lies the same distance from the heart of Dragaera City, that distance being about thirty hours, or a f...ull day and a night.
Therefore, if we say that our friends had a distance of many days ahead of them, we hope our readers will be neither offended nor confused by the apparent embarrassment of measurements.
What followed the fight at the inn, then, was a measure of time spent riding, in a leisurely way, through the beautiful Ironwood Gap of the Boiling Mountains which, while pleasant enough to those who had the leisure to travel in this way, will have, we suspect, little enough interest for those who have chosen to come along on this journey in the capacity of observers.MoreLess
