Gold Road

Trade Route • High Forge to Eldoran

Overview​

The Gold Road is the main road north out of High Forge, eventually reaching the Eldoran capital, Eldoran. Before it gets there it branches off toward Greyport. The split comes just before a mountain pass, past the foothill village below the Goliath village on Grimvar's Spine; a crossroads town grew up at that bottleneck because everyone leaving the region has to pass through it (the DM's description in Session 38).

The road has appeared only in passing: as the route of a caravan job in Session 1, as Zeke's escape route in Session 13, and as the party's road out of High Forge in Session 38.

Session History​

  • Session 1 — Dirk of the Stephen Guild offers the party 500 gold to guard a caravan along the Gold Road to Eldoran.
  • Session 13 — Silas tracks the fleeing Zeke from his burned cottage near Milstrom to the Gold Road, where Zeke had met riders with horses and gone beyond the party's reach toward Eldora.
  • Session 38 — The party takes the road north out of High Forge through Redbrook, detours up the mountain to the Goliath village, then heads east toward Greyport.
