Ballads and Lore of One Dusty Road was a work of two volumes penned by Sharanralee Crownstar, a renowned adventuress and secretly a Harper agent in the mid-14th century DR.[2]

A woman, or a man, may come to hold many treasures in life. Gold, gems, a good name, lovers, good friends, influence, high rank–all of these are of value. All of these most covet. But of them all the most valuable, I tell ye, are friends good and true. Have these, and ye will scarce notice the lack if ye never win aught else.
— Excerpt from Ballads and Lore of One Dusty Road[2]
