Frenzied Crossing

This road once connected the Old North Road to Oxibbul, but after the latter’s demise centuries ago, the thoroughfare turned southward toward the settlements of Carter’s Ferry, Glaivr, Elise, and Cantyn Light, which were founded in the aftermath of Oxibbul’s descent into chaos. The road primarily links the preceding settlements to the ports at Cantyn Light and the city of Apothasalos to the north. To protect their economic interests, Glaivr and Elise regularly dispatch patrols to protect overland commercial traffic and keep encroaching monsters and wild animals at bay. Despite their efforts, a band of outlaws sometimes dispossesses travelers of their goods and wealth. Locals refer to the group as the Dastardly Troupe, whom many believe originally hail from Glaivr based upon their expertise using trapping devices implanted just beneath the road’s surface to ensnare creatures walking atop the Frenzied Crossing. A handful of residents even believe the bandits previously belonged to Glaivr’s town guard. With the exception of these brigands, the road remains relatively safe save for the occasional rare encounter with orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, gnolls, or trolls.
