Calc Skyrim - Dovahkiin's travel speed

Dovahkiin can travel anywhere in Skyrim (although some time will pass). This is extra impressive when you consider just how big Skyrim is. For a low end of the distance, the distance from the volcano of Vvardenfall to the city of Almalexia is said to be 250 miles (or 402.336km).

The vast Volcano of Tamriel, this giant mountain dominates the north of Morrowind. It is a small continent all to itself, riven from the rest of Morrowind by the remains of a colossal crater. On a clear day (an exceedingly rare event), the peak can be seen from Almalexia, 250 miles to the south.

For our mid and high ends, we'll have a look at the Arena manual, which says that Tamriel is roughly 2000km to 3000km from North to South.

The world of Tamriel is vast, roughly three to four thousand kilometers east to west and two to three thousand kilometers north to south.

(Low end)
191 pixels = 402.336km
1 pixel = 402.336km/191 = 2.1064712km
2.1064712km X 282 = 594.024878km

(Mid end)
676 pixels = 2000km
1 pixel = 2000km/676 = 2.95857988km
2.95857988km X 282 = 834.319526km

(High end)
676 pixels = 3000km
1 pixel = 3000km/676 = 4.43786982km
4.43786982kmX 282 = 1251.47929km
The journey takes 21 hours and 35 minutes.

T = (60 X 60 X 21) + (60 X 35)
= 77700s

(Low end)
T = 594.024878km/77700s
= 7.64510782m/s (27.522388152km/h)

(Mid end)
T = 834.319526km/77700s
= 10.737703m/s (38.6557308km/h)

(High end)
T = 1251.47929km/77700s
= 16.1065546m/s (57.98359656km/h)

Final Results
Dovahkiin's travel speed (low end) = 7.645m/s
Dovahkiin's travel speed (mid end) = 10.738m/s
Dovahkiin's travel speed (high end) = 16.107m/s

Although this may not seem super impressive, keep in mind that Dovahkiin can keep this up for close to 24 hours. Also, this is assuming they travel in a straight line.
