04-04-06, 09:46 AM I play World or Warcraft often and I really like that when I go to a flight path, I can see an overall map with the flight path destinations located on it.

Is there a map of Eberron that shows all the flight paths and other travel "waypoints" so travel is easily viewable?

The nature of airships makes it so that a) they are chartered a lot of the time, obviating the need for flight paths and b) they fly from everywhere to everywhere else, so the map would be a web of flight paths. I'm sure every ship has a different pattern, depending on cargo and the captain's methods.

Thanks!

04-04-06, 02:27 PM There's really only a handful of airships around. Maybe 20. Plus, they move so slow that it's easy to dodge each other. I imagine their flight paths merely avoid things like mountains and don't go above 7000 feet for oxygen reasons. Also, they probably avoid dangerous territories.

Thanks again

04-04-06, 04:15 PM According to the Explorer's Handbook, there are airship docking towers in the following locations:

-Sharn (Breland)
-Wroat (Breland)
-Stormhome (Aundair)
-Fairhaven (Aundair)
-Flamekeep (Thrane)
-Taer Valaestas (Valenar)
-Korth (Karrnath)
-Trolanport (Zilargo)
-Krona Peak (Mror Holds)

That doesn't mean a ship cannot travel to another city, it just means disembarking and unloading can prove tricky.
