Transportation


 * Vehicles (automobiles, trains, etc.) were never invented. Vehicles were never invented, as people preferred to go horseback or on the back of other beasts/monstrosities that have been domesticated.
 * 'Gravity' magic makes transporting large loads easier.
 * Large sentient dragons hire themselves out as mass transportation (smaller ones are more like ricksha). The gargantuan dragon species, those that have sentience, lend their services in exchange for items that they hoard (whether it be gold, sea shells, dice, cards, etc.) and become like airlines, of a sort.
 * For sea travel, ocean monstrosities (whale dragons, etc.) can take you there and offer enchantments to allow you to breathe underwater. Giant sea otters are kind-hearted enough to take travellers where they need to go, as long as they get fed and the travellers entertain them with stories. One can also hitch on the back of a whale, given you have the enchantment or magic items necessary to breathe underwater.
 * There are some less common enchanted methods, similar to the classic 'flying broom' or teleportation circles.
 * There's a pretty well-ingrained cultural respect for the creatures that have become part of daily life. With that in mind, mistreatment (or worse) of them is very not okay and people will let you know.
