Old Salt Road
Overview
The main trade route connecting Valdris to Kethra. The road runs from Valhold in the west through Eastmarch and into Keth's Landing on the coast. Once a bustling artery of commerce, the road has grown dangerous in recent years — banditry, cult activity, and border tensions have choked the flow of goods.

Hazards
- Bandit ambushes (paid by the Hand of Ruin to disrupt investigations)
- Unstable terrain near cracked seal anchors (elemental storms, sinkholes)
- Border patrols from both Valdris and Kethra (may mistake travelers for enemy scouts)
Trade
Before the war tensions, the Salt Road carried:
- Valdrian steel and grain eastward
- Kethran fish, pearls, and imported goods westward
- The Silent College shipments to and from the capital
The disruption of this trade is a major factor driving war sentiment in both kingdoms.
