If you’re getting bored Scavenging here in Dorset, why not annoy some of the other local Lords instead? Admittedly, there’s not much of a reason to move at the moment, but I’m likely to propose one soon if nobody else does first (and maybe even then; but please try to propose interesting ideas to do with location). As for why you can’t move into Scotland, I’m trying to recreate Hadrian’s Wall using liquid fire, and I’d rather you didn’t interfere with that. (And have you seen the state of the train tracks in Northumberland? Really!) The list of counties is, incidentally, taken from Wikipedia’s list of historic counties of England.
Later I’ll propose Scotland and Wales. Possibly even Ireland, as I believe in 1910 it was still part of the UK.
Telescopic legs have already been described as very slow, so it does not fit thematically to have them faster than wings.
