**Note:** The East Way Trail winds through Cormyr’s eastern frontier, tracing the gentle curves of the [[Immerflow River]] before slipping into the fogbound borders of the Dalelands. First laid by early traders seeking safer passage to [[New Tilverton]], its cobbles have been polished smooth by centuries of footsteps, hooves, and wagon wheels. Moss, ferns, and bright wildflowers press between the old stones, softening the ancient road’s age. Waystones etched with pilgrim symbols guide travelers along the safer stretches, gleaming faintly on moonlit nights. When the [[Dragon Trail]] becomes too perilous, caravans favor the East Way for its quiet bends, riverside shrines, and restful clearings. It remains one of Cormyr’s most storied routes- humble, dependable, and steeped in centuries of passage.
