Road of Forgotten Kings

Stretching all the way from the Oblivionite territory in the far north to the Lesser Empire in the south, the Road of Forgotten Kings is a massive trade route that spans through the Frontiers. The Road is an engineering marvel. Despite having existed before the Autocracy even came to the shores of the new continent, the bright red stone shows no signs of degradation. The path is wide enough for fifteen men to walk abreast and it has no noticeable mortar, seemingly existing as a single piece of solid stone. It is a perfectly straight structure. Smaller roads branch out from the main path, each exactly half the width of the main road, most of these have been partially or fully buried by nature. These tributary roads follow the same pattern as their source, perfectly straight (when excavated) but going east-west as opposed to north-south.

It was named for the routes of conquest by the Frontier Legions that sallied forth after Xan’s Deluge. In those dangerous times the strength of many kingdoms was shattered by the apocalyptic struggle. The petty kingdoms were looted or vassalized in those days, regardless of their allegiance.

Merchants also call it the “crimson road”. The road itself is more dangerous in some places than others given the immense amount of territory that it covers. Entire bandit nations exist in the wilderness outside the road. Only a strong escort is likely to ensure safe passage along the crimson road.
