Shemdar Road

The Shemdar Road, known also as the Eastern Spur, is a winding route that initially veers northeast before crossing into Astorian territory. Once beyond the border, it turns due south, threading through a mix of fertile lowlands and strategic hills. This road was once patrolled by the Queen's cavalry, and many of its ancient markers still bear her sigil. It is considered the safest route for political envoys and merchant guilds, though since the disappearance of Queen Eriba, control has faltered and banditry has returned to certain stretches. Old forts, waystations, and crumbling statues line this road, reminders of a once-unified Surmad.
