* All things nautical! River travel in Barsaive.

* We covered individual vessels in Episode

* Each aropagoi controls a section of the Serpent and its associated tributaries.

* Trading cartels that have developed over generations for mutual economic benefit.

* Most aropagoi are led by a shivalahala – the political, spiritual, and cultural leader of the entire cartel.

* Historical perspective on the Serpent River trade

* Bakshevas – a ritualistic toll extracted by the t’skrang who controlled a stretch of river.

* The Free Trade Compact – the aropagoi retain exclusive rights to their tributaries, but the Serpent trade is open.

* Standard unit of freight: the duari. A cask that holds 300 pounds of dry rice.

* About 16 hours of travel per day, approximately 5 silver per day.

* Brief comparison of riverboat versus airship travel.

* Types of passage.

* Freighter: mildly cramped, eat with the crew, may work to reduce passage.

* Passenger line: Passengers only, planned routes and known stops.

* Warship passage: Not commonly available, only adepts who can fight.

* Ferry service: Crossing the river, low cost, no berths, short jaunts.

* Dwarf barges: Easy travel downstream, must pay a riverboat to tow them upstream.

* Showboat: Floating entertainment, carnival, or circus that travels the lower Serpent and Coil rivers. More diverse.

* Lots of pop culture and historical inspirations in this episode for river travel flavor and story ideas!

* River travel is a great source for color and excitement, and mot places in Barsaive aren’t too far from part of the Serpent River network.
