Silvercut Roadway

Named for the shimmer of endless fields of windswept, sunlit grasses that accompany the way, the Silvercut Roadway connects the heart of Tal'Dorei—Emon—to its distant extremities, affording traders and travelers some measure of safety against the wilds. Parts of the road predate the Tal'Dorei Council, and it now runs from the Bladeshimmer Shoreline to the Lucidian Coast, connecting most major hubs of civilization across the country.

Silvercut Crossroads

The Silvercut Roadway and the Wildwood Byway meet in the shadow of the Ironseat Ridge. During the rule of Drassig, many innocents and war heroes were executed by hanging at a massive gallows that once stood at the crossroads, with bodies hung from signs as a warning to dissenters. The gallows were destroyed by Zan Tal'Dorei's rebel army, and the rebels created a stone monument with an inscription to commemorate all who lost their lives to tyranny:

The standard-bearers of revolution honor the innocent dead. Vengeance will not restore the lives of the lost, nor will it appease their spirits. We vow you will receive justice, for justice will ensure that no more guiltless blood shall be shed.

Most travelers choose not to camp too closely to the site, for there are countless urban legends about hauntings that surround this grim monument.
