Travelling between Realms usually just has you arrive in the following season. Maybe we can roll to find out what actually happened on the journey.
I’m currently messing with a multi-realm map that has a bespoke table for each border. This is a typical example. It uses with the mythic calendar system, but if you’re just using seasons as written in the book then you can assume each season is made up of three months.
Roll d6 once for the whole company and resolve the event.
On successive rolls, add the result the previous entry you resolved, continuing until you arrive. This particular example requires a roll of 8+ to arrive, so it's going to take you at least two months, usually three, maybe more if you have very bad luck.
For example, a you might roll 2 (entry 2) then 3 (entry 2+3=5) then 5 (5+5=10, arrival), representing a journey of three months.
Remedies can be used between events but virtues are otherwise not restored.
You can turn back any time, rolling just one more time on the table before you get back to the realm you departed from.
