One thing that I am curious of is if a specific scenario exists on Dwilight where, due to distances, in order for food to be fully mobile, it may have to be traded twice to reach it's needed destination.

The distance between Flowrestowne and Echiur is 2813 miles going through Libidizedd, probably closer to 2000 miles as the crow flies, and that's the short dimension of Dwilight. The distance from North to South is probably closer to 3000 miles.

A Trader with ~55% skill has a range of 650 miles.

So, yes, these scenarios exist, but it's not like it would take dozens of hops either.
After all it's a roleplaying game.
