The impression that I got from the guide is that everyone arrives in time for the funeral, regardless of the time that it takes. EVERYONE will have to travel for a minimum of several days to as long as a month if you want to be realistic about it, but a body won't lay in state that long... so it's easier to simply assume that you get there in time. If you WANT to be late, then write that you're late and miss out on the first scene(s). The character gets there after the funeral, after the reading of the will and after everyone goes off to do whatever they want to do because he had to travel a month to get there.... you'll be really bored, but it'll be realistic.<br/><br/>Fantasy is one of those great things where reality really isn't such a big deal... how he gets there isn't as important as the fact he's suppose to be there when the game starts.
