That sounds pretty good to me. I figure most communication between the Justinian states of the east and west would be by sea since traversing Arkanath seems like an unhealthy endeavor.

Traveling the Ashen Plains of the Oathbearers is generally the fastest way to find yourself fighting your brothers, sisters, parents and grandparents with a rusty, broken sword. Or just get chained up (if you're lucky). By sea it's a BIT safer as in: if you take the long way around and you leave right after the raiding season, you'll probably reach the Marches easily. Still, I'd imagine not every envoy reaches the shore.
