How long does it take to walk between towns?

We were wondering how long it would take to walk between 2 towns and how long it would take to walk across a county.

For example, if we were to take the county of Stanbone Heights in Warslope in Ashlands, how long would it take to go from the top to the bottom of the county along its main road? How long would it take to get from the Hamlet of Grayhook Hope to the Fort of Stanjewel Slope in the middle of the county?

It depends how long your legs are.

Jokes aside, since there is no official scale included, it's hard to say.

I believe a few community made ones exist though.

My guesstimations based on given county sizes say there's typically 1-2 miles between settlements as the crow flies, so realistically a half hour or so walking depending on the road and your tribe.

Nice thing about the imperial system- a mile is supposed to be how far an average person (neran) can walk in 20 minutes.

Caspian once said it would take around 27 hours to walk the length of the continent as the crow flies (assuming that were feasible) with Neran sized legs. That RL hours. So, i'd guess 15-20 minutes?

Then there is a question over whether those are terrestrial or Elyrian units of time. I suspect terrestrial, otherwise the scenery would go past too fast to see anything.
