"Is everyone coming together to support and reinforce each other, or do they remain scattered? I -- there aren't really all that many means of transportation where I come from except for walking. And the occasional wagon pulled by oxen or halla. And ships, of course, but those aren't very good for overland travel."

Horses will have to wait ten years or so. Even if everyone knows they exist.
