The main reason Navar has been kept seperate to Scorn is to prevent 
players easily visiting all shops in the world.  Preventing players from 
being able to do this has been part of Crossfire map placement for a very 
long time.  If easy transit between Scorn and Navar becomes a reality then 
virtually all of the city maps are only a few ships apart.

This is why I commented in the "moving Wolfsberg" thread that changing 
Wolfsberg to be accessible from Navar would not effect game balance as 
long as we broke the link to Scorn.

High level characters have ways of making the trip more easily, so I'd be 
ok with more dragon hangars as long as they were made suitably expensive.

Perhaps ships should cost money to use (discussed a few times over the 
years I know).  If this was the case, and the cost was sufficient, we 
could discourage low levels from visiting all the shops while still 
allowing Scorn and Navar to be connected.

OTOH maybe this isn't considered to be such a big deal now, with even with 
east and west sets of cities containing many shops each.

If we want to allow easy east-west travel we should consider all the 
angles.
