Lightning Rails:
House Orien has long covered the overland transportation business for many generations in Khorvaire, the most famous of which is their lightning rail system that used to be able to quickly cross
the whole of the Five Nations. Sadly, the lightning rail service now is limited to three lines, Eastern, Western and Karrnath, as the Day of Mourning and the Last War destroyed much of their central
lightning rail lines. Still, it is the fastest way to travel to other parts of Khorvaire. The three rail lines that are still in service have a number of stops along their routes. The Western Line is known for a
number of branches which still cover the western half of Khorvaire

Lightning rail cars are simply metal boxes, 100 feet long by 35 feet wide by 15 feet tall, with two Conductor Stones mounted on the bottom. The interior is redesigned based on the needs of the
type of car. Standard rates allow for one seat person and enough storage space for a single backpack, fitting about 60 people. Standard cargo shipping is an empty container with some netting to
secure crates and cargo. First class cars are plush and comfortable, seating only 10 people, but with room to sleep and eat. Commoner cars only have seating along the outside, but can pack 100
people per car. The prices listed are more for comparison. House Orien does not make a habit of selling lightning rail cars.
Soarwood Ships:
Soarwood ships are identical to their normal counterparts, except that they move twice as fast. A soarwood rowboat only weights 75 lbs.
Skycoach:
Found only in Sharn, the City of Towers, these coaches have been enchanted to provided a simplistic method of levitation and propulsion, allowing drivers to ferry passengers all over (and up and
down) the mile-high towers of Sharn. Travelling in such a large city takes time, based on either foot or skycoach. A typical skycoach can easily fit 2 Medium creatures plus a driver (or 4 Small
creatures comfortably, 4 Medium creatures if they squeeze, etc)
