Distances between capital cities and main locations
The tables below give distances between all the capital cities and main locations of the nations of the Westlands. All are as the crow flies. Calculating the distances by road would depend on the route taken and we would assume that only the main roads are shown on the canonical maps. in addition, many times it makes sense to go off-road (as in The Dragon Reborn where Egwene travels with Verin and other across the Caralain grass to reach Tar Valon from Falme).
