About this converter
Wheel of Time journey legs run 400 to 2400 miles across thirteen book quotes. The Tear Gate and Arran Head legs each list 400 miles and tie as shortest here. The Emond Field to Blight leg lists 2400 miles and stands as longest here, though flagged as an author error in the mapping blog. Every figure here names its book and chapter. League quotes convert at the official in-world rate of 1 league to 4 miles, with the original quote kept per row. Two Emond Field legs carry author-error flags from the mapping blog. Legs with no figure stay out and the notes say so.
How to use it
Pick two legs and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. Try 1 Emond Blight against Arran Head to see the 2400 to 400 gap. All rows use miles, with league originals shown per row. Click any table row to load it as Entry A with amount 1.
Conversion uses the official in-world 1 league equals 4 miles, shown per row with the working, and mile quotes stay untouched. A Wheel mile runs near 1.136 real miles, so rows pin book miles without converting worlds. The Emond Field to Blight 2400 and Caemlyn road 1000 carry inconsistency flags from the source blog. Gateway jumps skip distance and stay out because no leg is walked.
