Does anyone know what happened to the old pre-HW concept of using "magic roads" to move at high speed from one sacred site to another?
If I had to guess, I'd say that now it's done by enacting a myth that tells of how some hero entered (for example) Horn Gate, travelled through Eiritha, received a blessing a the Paps, overcame horrible magic at the Winter Ruins, slept with a Moon Woman at Moonbroth, and finally reached his foe at Jaldon's Point.
Hmmm. This would, in fact, probably have been Jaldon. Too bad my Heroes are all firmly Anti-Jaldonites!
(Not only is this the path my Heroes would need to take, but it points out that on the old, less sneaky William Church Maps, all these sites line up as if laid out with a ruler. On those maps you can also see that the Paps is a convergence point for every important place in Prax.)
Even so, there are vague old references suggestive of less severe ways to move from site to site. Thoughts?
