I saw a comment from Jreid somewhere talking about 'each league is about 3 miles. its interesting when you learn you're running at 200+ MPH'
Which leads me to wonder, how many square miles is Pyrathia? Also, if we were to include other areas, outer plains and such, How much more would that add?

I've measured this on a previous character. I've posted something on a board somewhere for an explorer to find almost a year ago. But here's the short version.

Historically, a league is an hour's walk. Pyrathia's material plane is quite roughly half of a circle with a radius of approximately 150 leagues. The diameter of a theoretically whole pyrathia is thus 1413 miles. The moon has a diameter of around 2100 miles. If we go only by the concept of leagues, Pyrathia's accessible material plane is a flat half-pancake taken from a source approximately two-thirds the size of our moon.

The overworld of this accessible material plane is approximately 35,000 rooms. This fits the description of the MUD on some websites, which is a nice confirmation of theory.

Of course, space and time are fluid and relative in the game. It's dangerous to over-apply any one source of information.

Very well done grep. That's exactly what I was looking for.

But is this using the "how far you can walk in an ooc minute?/ic hour?" Or 3 leagues per room?

1 league per wilderness room, 3 leagues per degree of Pyrathia's surface... don't get me started on the problems and implications of the celestial bodies in the game. For example, sources in-game conflict on whether the constellations even move in the sky.
