Three Grave Road

Merchants and frequent travelers have been wary of Three Grave Road for many years. They avoided it as much as possible, even risking late shipments and sleepless nights to find a safer route. Not only were goblins rumored to roam the area, but strange occurrences and foul weather could make travel difficult. If you happened to be at any tavern near the road, you could coax outrageous stories out of local residents, which only added to the myths that surrounded the road. But the story of where the road got its name is most saddening. Unlike many of the tales told by the town drunks, there is evidence to support the told and retold story of Three Grave Road.
The story is simple. It used to be a common and relatively safe path and was a popular route for both poor travelers and the richest merchants. But one night during a particularly bad storm huge rocks were seen falling from the sky by the people in the nearest town. When the storm cleared and the road opened again, three travelers were found dead, crushed by some of the rocks that had fallen. No one recognized them, so they were buried on the side of the road as a show of respect for them, and a memorial for the “Night the Rocks Fell.”
Two of the largest rocks buried still rest at this location, flanking the path. The mammoth meteors loom like mountains in the normally flat terrain. Smaller rocks dotted the landscape, placed into piles by those tasked with clearing the road.
