route to Karse from Old Days. And it was used as substitutional route when Creekstream was swollen.

In 1602 ST, after Principality of Sartar fell to Lunar Empire, many capitals of Lunar Empire flew to the new land Dragon Pass, and it is easier to intervene lost right land of Sartar than to do same in grazeland allying with Tarsh under the name of "King and Queen of Dragonpass", and I suppose soon after the occupation, most of trade rights in Sartar fell to the hands of Lunar Capitals.

Thus, along the road many Lunar Army garrisons set, with shrines of Seven Mothers, and along road many patrols began to go around, this route turned to safe and convenient, best way for Lunar merchants.

While, for Lunars imposing special tax to Issaries merchant, Issaries merchants with guts began to go through "Plain Route" even when they used wagons. But even today, many Sartarites with wagons or not to sleep in the open, reluctantly use this route.

Why this route is called "Sky Road"? Not only for it goes through high above sea level.... but for it was banned to call "Wind [Storm? (TI)] Road", but many people hesitate to call it "Moon Road", they choose to do so out of desperation.

Lunars has deepened the reliance on the route of "Sky Road" in the increasing investment of Lunar capital, alliance with Grazers and stop of "Riverine Road". And many merchants, tax collectors and army make their route through Boldhome. Thus, the Emergence of Dragon in Sartar [Not Boldhome] will damage greatly Lunar Empire, and the successive attacks of Lunars will be concentrated to recapture Boldhome.

(*)These set is created by I, Efendi and Zebraface [called Terra Incognita] with discussion, I don't have sole copyright. The discussion began when our translation reached in the Manirian section of "Trade in Glorantha" (written by Gerald Bosch), he wrote that "merchants from Nochet to Furthest cross the way through Beast Valley and Upland Marsh, going through regulated roads of Sartar." And we discussed its availability.

Zebraface pointed out that normal merchants cannot pass through Beast Valley and Upland Marsh. But I persistently stuck to the convenience of paved road for wagons, could not escape from it. I want to appreciate his effort to remove the attachment from me with patience.
