Connections

This area is the main connection area for AVATAR and as such has links with a lot of lower level areas, as well as some higher ones too. These connections include: the Meadow, Stonehall, Solace, Midgaard, Mervue, Mt. Durr, Ofcol and the Wildwood.

Many, many other areas are connected to the Highway network.

Navigation

The various areas of the highway system have different names and as such are a convenient way to divide up the area.

• The White Stone Road is probably the part of the Highway that any new character will come across as it connect to the Meadow, Stonehall and Solace. To the north it leads to the Crossroads which connects with the Dwarven Trade Route and the Mountain Path. To the south it turns into the Path Around Solace.
• The Old East Road and Woodbridge Road together run from Solace in the west to Midgaard in the east.
• The Dwarven Trade Route runs from Mt. Durr and Odevar Hills east to the Farmer's Way.
• Farmer's Way is a straight north-south road which connects Midaard and Ofcol.
• The Mountain Path runs from the Crossroads north and then east to Ofcol. This section runs through mountainous territory and can be quite intensive on the movement points. This means that the Dwarven Trade Route and Farmer's Way is preferred route for simply getting from A to B.
• The Mountain Trail is a short straight road which runs east from Ofcol to the Barrier Wastes. Be careful not to wander into the River as there is no easy way back out again and it can be dangerous without a boat or other method of dealing with the water.
• Ocean Trade Route runs north-south from Midgaard to Mervue.
• Defender's Way leaves Midgaard and leads east to the Great Wall and the Wildwood.
• The Great Wall starts in the north at the Tortured Terrain and winds via the gate to the Wildwood south to eventually end at Mervue. The north tower by the the gate to the Wildwood also has a connection to the Air of Avatar.

Adventuring

Highways, like the White Stone Road and the Farmer's Way will allow you to travel between cities easily. Peddlers, Knights, Bandits and Monks often wander these roads.
