<< Handra is at least 150 km away from the Nimistor river and to reach there one either has to travel through Bastis (a separate Trader Princedom) or through Ryzel (where man-eating 'newts live). It is not part of Nimistor any more than the Solanthi are. >>
The point is that people from Handra started ***sailing*** around the Mournsea, up the Nimistor river perhaps, and spread their new found Open Sea skills to everyone. They could easily sail 150kmn, avoiding dragonewts and Bastis trader princes. Why anyone would imagine the best way to spread a useful seafaring ritual would be to trudge overland is beyond me.
