I have a question regarding the prices for ocean travel via Lyrandar sailing ships and wind galleons as presented in the Explorer's Handbook. Lyrandar sailing ships are listed as traveling 6 MPH, and having a fare price of 5 sp/mile. Wind galleons are listed as travling 20 mph, and having a fare price of 3 sp/mile.

Does anybody have any thoughts as to why wind galleons are both faster and cheaper than Lyrandar sailing ships?

House Lyrandar probably has more 'comfortable' amenities on board, as opposed to a bunk and a box of hard rations. I imaging Lyrandar ships are the equivalent of cruise liners -- you only take one when you don't really mind sailing for a while, or if you plan to sail for pleasure and not for travel itself.

Lyrandar ships are just ships.

Wind Galleons are the ones with an elemental binding to make them lighter and always have the winds favor. They move more like hyrdrofoils, with a big ring on em:)
