The Phlan Path was the road along the northern coast of the Moonsea lake that connected the cities of Phlan and Melvaunt.[1][2]
Description[]
While it was one of the most well-developed roads along the northern coast of the sea, for some stretches it was merely a well-trodden dirt path.[3]
Geography[]
The Phlan path intersected with the Iron Route at the bank of the Stojanow River near Phlan.[4]
Traveling east from Phlan, the path intercepted the termination of Toranth's March, the southbound trail from Castle Vathar, before intersecting the Trank River at a lone bridge crossing. It wound through the Moonwatch Hills before finally reaching Melvaunt.[1][5][6]
History[]
In the Year of Rogue Dragons, 1373 DR, group of bandits operating along the Phlan Path slew a lone ogre ravager traveling down from Thar. The ogre carried a unique obelisk made of jade, that was in fact the key that could open up the Tomb of Vorbyx.[7]
Highwaymen continued to plague the road even a century later, as the Merchant's Guild of Phlan suffered a number of robberies along that stretch of the Moonsea North.[8]
Rumors & Legends[]
Around that same time rumors circulated that orcs were assaulting people that traveled along the Phlan Path.[9]
Notable Locations[]
- Crossing Inn, a stopover establishment located on the south side of the path on the east bank of the Trank River.>[5]
