Nephgrim's Way

Nephgrim’s Way is the great western road leading from Arim’s Well toward the distant coastline, making it the primary artery for salt trade, fishmongers, and foreign goods arriving by ship. The first half of the journey cuts through dry plains and scattered woodland, but at a solitary crossroads—marked by a shattered black obelisk—travelers may choose to veer south toward the Nimbus Oasis, a fabled and contested source of water, said to be home to mermaids and fae. Those who stray from the path without guidance risk death in the shifting dunes.

The road is allegedly named after Nephgrim the Bold, a legendary trader who vanished westward in pursuit of a city made entirely of glass.
