Trade Routes on Duria

Though every road and even most paths are technically trade routes, there are a few major trade routes criss-crossing Duria through more civilized lands. The High Road is the longest trade route overland, stretching from Caladon in Malvetia in the south to Lar Rentoris in western Koramia. Though substantially slower than travel by sea, the High Road tends to be relatively easier to patrol and, therefore, a much safer choice for transporting goods.

Overland routes into the interior of the continent tend to be difficult and fraught with danger. There are two major passes in the Divian Mountains leading from Koramia to Norlund that are relatively secure. The Durian Road from Neptaris northward is the main trade route for the dwarves of the Cambrecian Mountains. Most merchants looking to transport goods between the Maroshan Sea and the Sea of Blades tend to follow the river into Nagos, then take goods overland to Terregos or Utherios.

In the Betshaban Ocean (including the Maroshan Sea), most merchant vessels hug close to the Inner Coast, travelling from Danas to Ciritasnia while attempting to avoid discovery by the wicked Tamerish pirate ships that prowl the waters looking for easy prey. The Sea of Blades also sees no small amount of trade, particularly between Dakra, Pelusia, Nagos and Enesia. Despite the instability of Stenoa and the xenophobia of Lun Dorak, some brave merchants even travel east of the Mistwood looking for profit. Very few, however, are willing to brave the Maraudine, lest they be captured by Dorakian war vessels on patrol or sunk by orcish raiders.
