Norway caught me on the real map. The E6 runs from the Swedish border to Kirkenes. One road. Nearly the whole country. That is not a journey for a bored horse. That is a season with a destination.
Iron Realms gives me the same feeling outside my gate. My level 22 keep looks solid. The road beyond it still takes time. Walls help when trouble arrives. They do nothing for distance. You know that when a supply march crawls across the map.
I would take Norway’s long road once. Northward. Past the last easy turn. My family knew scattered lands and borrowed rooms in the capital. Long roads make that kind of life visible. Hall tales swell. Maps do not.
