Old North Road

Once a popular trade thoroughfare, the Old North Road hosts little traffic nowadays. It runs from Glendovel Close to the south and through the Desolation until it forks just past The Fingers into the Merchant’s Road to the north and the Frenzied Crossing to the east. Naturally, the sharp decline in use has left the route in a state of neglect and disrepair. Its popularity waned because of its passage through the dangerous and sparsely inhabited Desolation and its proximity to the hostile Kingdom of Acregor. Nonetheless, there has been some renewed interest in reopening the northern leg of the Old North Road passing through the environs around Tsar. A ramshackle settlement known as The Camp sits close to the road and acts as a gateway to the wasteland beyond it. These efforts aside, the Old North Road witnesses a disproportionate number of muggings, robberies, and attacks committed by a cast of characters ranging from bandits and orc raiders to Orcus’ deranged minions and fantastical creatures rarely seen in Akados.
