Travelling around

Getting around in Sumer is easy: there are many boats and plenty of caravans that go every day from cities to cities. But all travels take time, often several days to go from one city to another. The heat is another issue when you travel in Sumer: all journeys may feel uncomfortable at some point.

Travelling by boat

Essential: the water-pouch!

Consult a diviner before travelling!!

Water-pouches!

Don’t forget your water pouch! It will be your most precious belonging when you travel from cities to cities. You find leather pouches, 1 to 5 liters, everywhere for cheap prices.

It is essential to have your own pouch when you travel with a caravan, because the leaders of the caravan do not bring water stock to share between the travelers.

Is the day favourable for travelling?

Diviners are available every morning at city gates and in the harbours to tell you whether the day is favourable or not for travelling. All caravans and individual travellers consult a diviner before their journey. It is highly recommended that you do the same! For instance, diviners tell travellers if a sandstorm is coming, in which case all travels by road are cancelled.
