It's over five thousand miles from east to west. North to south is much less impressive, I'd say less than 2000 before you hit the middlemarches and miles cease to have meaning.<br/><br/>Gem is the furthest city in the south, incapable of sustaining life without a massive import operation that is funded by the much more massive mining operations. I estimate the closest city and source of these supplies, The Lap, to be 1300 miles away as the crow flies. That crow flies over a few hundred miles of mountains, though. In any case, its position as the southernmost civilization of Creation is a logical place for this urge to send anyone. Even a Lunar balks at going that deep into the desert on a whim.<br/><br/>GF is Great Forks, which is one of the larger cities in the Scavenger Lands. 4500 miles from Chiaroscuro as the crow flies.<br/><br/>Amara and Azzan are in Chiaroscuro, as are a couple others I noticed. 2500 miles from Gem, but with a good road, magiked about half the way. On horseback/camelback, all bonuses accounted for, 500 miles per month.<br/><br/>Creation is BIG.
