There's a lot of material concerning the itinerant routes of medieval and dark age kings. Rarely was there a set route.

Just one problem - the Volsaxi (who control Whitewall and have made it their "sacred royal seat") do not appear to recognize the authority of the Heortlending High Kings - and haven't since Hardrard the Green established himself High King of the Volsaxi quite some time ago. Greg can correct me on this, but I strongly doubt a Heortlending High King has set foot in Whitewall for centuries.
