@TheEdVerseGood morning, Ed. When nobles travel the roads of the Sword Coast, where do they stay between major cities or their estates? … Do they set up pavilions and camp? Do they invite themselves to stay at local homesteads? What's "rouging it" for them.

@KatoKatonianHow common would you say wayside inns are on the sword coast? Do they pop up at regular intervals along trade routes? North-S along the Coast and up the Dessarin: regular, common. Rarer heading east, both Savage North and Berdusk E to Inner Sea

Seven days/seven inns, but less on fast horses in good weather.#Realmslore
