Stagecoach travel times in 1750:

>From London to Dover: 27 hours
Both of those distances are about 60 miles, which shows the vast difference a good road (London-Oxford) can make, compared to the poor roads in Kent. 60 miles is also the distance from Boldhome to Alda-Chur or Wintertop.

The area covered by my map was held by about seven tribes:
Cantiaci, in Kent
Regnenses, in Surrey and Sussex.
Trinovantes, in Essex and Suffolk
Catuvellauni, in Herts/Beds/Bucks
(These four cover the same approximate area of Sartar)
Atrebates, in Berkshire and north Hampshire
To be accurate, these names and borders come from the time after the Roman conquest, when each tribe was organised into a political sub-division and centrered on a tribal capital city. It's possible the Romans combined several smaller tribes and put them under the rule of a larger one for administrative convenience.
Perhaps by conicidence, each civitas appears to cover the same general area as a Sartarite City Confederation.

All part of the service :) (Well OK, pure coincidence, but anyway,,,) By the same token I live near Caroman in Sambari lands, where "The locals greet lost wanderers wiith a warm hospitality and point them along the road." Yeah, right.
