Gap Road

The Gap Road is an old stone-paved high road between the Duchy of Saxe and Keston Province that runs through the hilly lands between the Meridian Range to the north and the Kal’Iugus Mountains to the south. It is relatively well-maintained, with milestones and a few places where the paving stones have been replaced. Much of its route passes through pleasant countryside.
A number of small roadside inns are found along the way, along with villages out of sight of the road but marked by cart trails that lead to the thoroughfare. As long as wayfarers do not push on too aggressively, it is possible to spend each night of the journey at a coaching inn. It is a safe assumption that rooms are available unless a caravan or mule train happens to be present already. Lone travelers are seldom seen on the road, although this is not so much due to highwaymen as to the pure length of the journey. It is more than 200 miles from Kingston to the western side of the gap, a long trip to make without companions. There are incidents of brigandage, of course, and monsters do come down from the cold southern heights to hunt, but this is one of the few areas that Keston Province can truly be said to govern, and it is well-patrolled.
