# 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|Silent College]] shipments to and from the capital
|
|
|
|
The disruption of this trade is a major factor driving war sentiment in both kingdoms.
