"Ship or horses. Ship or horses. That's hard. I mean, if we get horses, then it's a lot more effort on our part. Riding a horse for long periods of time gets painful after a while. And if you get lost, then you're in trouble. And there are monsters that like to eat horses. Plus, ships can sail through the night whereas horses get tired and you have to camp. Going by ship has problems too. You're right out in the open where everyone can see you. You can get attacked by sea monsters or pirates, even air pirates. And then there's sea sickness. A lot of people who rarely travel by ship get sea sick. And it's not fun to fight air pirates when you are sea sick. Too bad Zirial isn't buying us an airship. You can fly over most monsters with an airship.
