![[Pasted image 20251212135622.png]] **Type:** Major Overland Trade Route **Location in Faerûn:** Eastern **Land Region in Faerûn:** Unapproachable East **Kingdom or Country (if any):** None (*passes through multiple realms*) **Ruler (if any):** N/A **Note:** The Golden Way is the great artery of commerce stretching from [[Faerûn]] into distant [[Kara-Tur]], carrying caravans of silk, incense, rare metals, and foreign wonders. Beginning at Faerûn’s western markets, it cuts through [[Thesk]], [[Rashemen]], and the rugged Easting lands before vanishing into the horizon beyond [[The Sunrise Mountains]]. Its wealth draws danger, raiders, steppe warbands, magical beasts, and political intrigue stalk its length. To many merchants it is a dream of fortune; to travelers it is a trial by endurance and luck.
