Before this codification, people spoke of travel in terms of days, such as [[Prantz]] being a three week walk from Lor. This gave an estimation of the time it would take for the journey, but the actual length of the road was not measured. Terrain could vastly change how long a journey took. A journey over mountains could be half the statute miles but take more time than a journey twice as long over flat plains.

	As Raklin began improving the roads across the land to advance the movement of trade goods and troops, a problem arose regarding how to pay the workers who improved the roads. Debates broke out about how much should be paid; greed overcame some that were charged with repairing and improving the roads. Raklin realized that he must figure out a way to pay the workers fairly.
