Eldor was hired as a government employee by the previous ruler. The new ruler is using government resources against the government.
The average distance between the Earth and the Moon is 384 400 km.
Three days without water is survivable. The question to my mind is whether in his new body Eldor can cast the most powerful regular teleportation spell, and even if he can will he get spell sick casting it continuously.
3.4 million kilometers in three days amount to a speed of 13.1 km/s. Or about 4.4% of the speed of light. Not bad!

…er, more like 44 per million of it. Oops!
So why didn’t he suffocate? Isn’t Gaia a planet?
@ Kixie:
Check the author commentary on the bottom of the previous page (page 46). It reads: “Eldor is able to breathe in “space” since there’s the same amount of air everywhere.” Have a lovely day. ^_^
As far as we learn in-comic, Gaia is a lone spherical world in some sort of empty air-filled void. As far as I can remember, none of the panels that show a night sky have ever shown stars. I remember in the first run of the comic I checked moments I remember being night and didn’t find any stars. The transportation sphere panels are a good example; there’s no stars in that night sky when the sphere crosses the wall. Also, come to think of it, I’m not sure if any daylight panel has ever shown a sun, either. This I never thought to check thoroughly, but at least going off memory, I don’t remember one shown? Might be wrong.
Either way, based on Viviana’s comments here and the lack of stars and such, it suggests Gaia exists at the center of its…space? universe? reality? which is an air-filled sphere with a radius of 3.4 million kilometers plus the radius of Gaia itself. We do know it’s a spherical world. Anyway, given the size of this sphere, if Gaia has a sun of some sort, it’s definitely not like our sun since it would be way too close.
Of course, what happens at this range is unknown. Eldor doesn’t appear next to a wall or any visible barrier. If he tried to fly further away from Gaia at that point rather than teleporting, what would happen? Would he perceive movement but not actually be moving further away, or would he actually hit a solid barrier?
…actually this also makes me question how gravity works. Clearly things do not fall toward Gaia from that distance (since the corpse was still there). Which means Gaia probably has no gravity as we understand it – it probably has a radius at which things fall toward it, and beyond that there just isn’t any gravity.
@ Mnemnosyne:
I believe Novil himself once confirmed that Gaia exists in a pocket universe with no other celestial bodies. So yeah, there aren’t any stars in the night sky, and daytime is just the sky being magically brighter. In addition, there is no microbiological life either (bacteria, virus, etc) so even food digestion is probably magic lol.

Or, you know, maybe if he tried to fly further away he would STILL be getting closer.

Or maybe the gravity gets weaker with distance and is practically zero so close to the limit (note that I don’t believe they hit the limit perfectly). We don’t know how long the corpse was there, maybe it would fall down after few more millennia.
