: I just checked the journal entries for Madrigal and White
: Falls. It takes them over a month to reach White
: Falls. (Fri Oct 10 to November 16). So
: Shiver/Soulblighter could have easily reached that far
: north by November.
: In fact, Shiver's army was probably moving very slowly
: (an amry consisting mainly of Thrall perhaps?). It
: took Soulblighter three weeks to conquer Scales,
: Covenent and Tyr, and more than four weeks for Shiver
: to even reach White Falls from Madrigal.
Note that most of the slower Dark units (fetch, undead) probably don't eat or sleep, which something-like-doubles their marching speed (they can effectively march 24 hours a day), as compared to living units like Ghols. They're still slower overall, but not *that* slow.
