Chris Mormont Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 One of the biggest hurdles facing people in Westeros is the delays in or lack of communication and the use of Ravens, if this were real would be an amazing "technology". But I was wondering how fast they are supposed to be? I was rereading Game of Thrones and came to the part where Bran and Rickon dream that Eddard is in the Crypts and the next day after exploring the Crypts they receive the raven that informs them of his death. It seemed to imply that the boys knew about it the night that Ned died and that would mean it took only a day to reach Winterfell, when it took Robert a month to travel there by caravan. Thoughts?

kissdbyfire Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 There's some info/speculation here: Also, it's worth noting that Robert's trip was extra slow tks to Cersei's wheelhouse and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Great and Mighty Poo Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 "As a crow flys" common saying in France meant 2 weeks. A raven in Grrm's world is about 6 times the size of a crow???? I'll let some one smarter than me do the math. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
