Yes, it always depicts you traveling in the shortest path between the two points, even if it doesn't make sense. Just imagine that the path goes around the water.

I just figured it was low water, and an area that could be crossed =b

Yeah, unfortunately it always assumes straight lines. The length of the road will nonetheless be long, though, so you'll just follow this straight line very slowly ;) ...

It's simple: wading takes more time than walking :)

You guys are forgetting the MAIN point here!

Cantarians... we don't know what they look like! There's no pictures or anything.

Did any of you stop to think that maybe, just maybe, we have WINGS?

...Or little boats at feet, whichever you want to imagine.

The clothing descriptors would have "there are two holes cut in the back for the wings to stick out" on tunics and shirts, Anthony :lol:

(I love how cantr players deduced the existence of the sun based on a clothing description.)

True.

As well...

"The shoes worn are quite large, to acomidate Cantarian boat feet."
