How Far Is It To Surtrheim?

Question: How much distance is between the major homes of the Titan Avatars in their Titanrealm? On your maps they look like next door neighbors living on the same block, as opposed to the neighboring countries that are probably a closer approximation.

You're very right; the homes of the Titan Avatars look much closer together on the maps than they really are. Unfortunately, we couldn't possibly have really accurately shown the distance between them; they are massive distances apart, and making a map on that kind of scale would be a ludicrous amount of work and entirely useless for anyone trying to use it in a Scion game.

Titanrealms have appropriately awesome scales; they contain millions upon millions of miles of magical real estate and are in no way easy to travel, even for accomplished psychopomps or the speediest of runners. Getting through one is always a journey. As a general rule, they should be considered about a hundred thousand miles or so from the nearest other bastion of "civilization", but that can vary depending on whether a Titan has his or her home in a particularly large or wilderness-like area and on the capabilities of players you plan to send there. You may need to adjust the distance slightly; you don't want it to be so far that they have no hope of surviving long enough to get there (unless they shouldn't be there yet, in which case it's probably good for them to realize that this is a bad idea and they should go home), but you also don't want it to be so close that they don't really have any difficulty getting around. Different groups will have different capabilities, but always remember that Titanrealms are terrible, vast, inhospitable places. It's a long and painful journey between the homes of the Avatars, especially for those who aren't very well-versed in travel.

Some Titan Avatars may have their homes slightly closer together than others, depending on whether they work together well; Nut's territory in Keku, for example, is large but also narrow, putting her potentially closer to her neighbors than someone like Chantico, who lives in a distant corner of the realm of fire.

We do apologize for the smaller scale on the maps; we did our best to give you a good visual of where everything is, but we couldn't really do it to scale, unless you wanted a file so large you couldn't look at ninety-nine percent of it at once, or one shrunk down until it was just flea-specks on a vast background.
