I always thought Duckpoint was "Lunar Hell" - at least that is what all my friends from Glamour say. :)

Well, the arctic tern goes north pole to south pole every fall, and then back again every spring - a round trip of 24000 miles. Many US East coast birds head out to sea in the fall, riding the trades down to South America, over 1800 miles in 80 hours. Really it depends on the winds - for example the late dark season winds over Teshnos blow southerly - perfect for migration. However the birds' patter would have to counter rotate against the Orlanth Eye - south on the eastern half of Glorantha in Dark/Storm, North again only in late Sea and Fire Seasons. Makes Jrustela a HUGE birder's paradise, as the Southerly breezes are never as strong as the Northerly.
