The **Road of Silken Blades** is the legendary trade route across the [[Plains of Kring]] connecting [[Astercreche]] on the eastern border of the [[Asterian Empire]] to the gate of the [[Wall of Han]] in the north-central [[Uruk Mandarinate]].  The road is functionally a cross between the Silk Road and the Oregon Trail in character, and suffers from bandits, Kring tribesman taxation, and the random monster attack.
