In Jeff Richard's Sartar game, we similarly used the Stormwalk Heroquest to travel to Stormwalk. I suppose Jeff might have gotten the idea from Wyrm's Past.

At the time, I remember the consensus was that stories of journeys to places could be used to speed travel to those places. We haven't since tried that again in our other campaigns, so I don't know if it's a useful story element or not. I suppose it could be abused, but real heroquesting is so difficult that it would probably be a desperate measure for anyone but superheroes.
