This is a small suggestion about Fast Travel. The mod currently has a calendar that advances as you go along and this will eventually affect a sort of story I believe? However you can currently travel from the Shire to the Red Mountains instantly...according to the calendar. I actually appreciate the instant travel instead of spending hours walking/riding. It would be nice though if the calendar would update depending on the distance you fast traveled. I think it would be really cool to know how long (lore wise) it took for me to conquer Rivendell/Dol Guldur. Mostly though I think it would be useful for when we get the time based events from the awesome Meavans.

How this would work is; your x and z coordinates would be grabbed as well as the waypoint's as soon as you fast travel. The distance between you and the waypoint would be calculated and so many hours would be added. I'm not sure whether your speed should be calculated based on actuall minecraft speeds or more lore friendly ones (what it would actually take in real life) also, should nights be skipped? If possible the game should also check to see if you have a mount and then depending on the mount would calculate a different speed. Can it check for a Rohirric mount?

Is this a bad idea? If so, tell me what's bad about it so that I can fix it. Thanks for reading! :)
