Travel speed and range

Unfortunately a conclusive list of the dragon breeds in regard of their different speeds of travel as well as the distance they might be able to overcome in a day has not been published yet. The use of such would surely be immense, but undoubtedly a list of that kind would have to be a project of many scholars, as one alone would not be able to know the details of all the different breeds. It remains to be seen, when such a work might come to fruition, god willing it might be sooner than expected.

As a note, the Jade dragons of China are listed as being able to travel 120 miles in two hours, making the average speed 60 miles per hour (about 52 knots) for this journey. This is the fastest sustained flight speed yet mentioned, but short bursts of speed (especially if while diving) would likely be much faster than this.
