Commonly called the 'Dwarf-Road,' the High Road is an important trade route that runs east and west across northern Corwyn, between the cities of Elsareth and Kelburn.
Along the way, the road travels through the Theocracy of Derianor, the Wildlands, the Dwarf-Realm of Orrek, the Swordpoint, Grey, and Axehead Mountain ranges, the Barrens, the Kingdom of Ammarind, and finally, the Kingdom of Alveron.
Because of Wildfolk raids, the route through the Wildlands is seldom traveled except in well-guarded caravans, and is also patrolled by the Silver Ravens.
The road was partially built in the Fourth Age by Dwarves of Orrek, specifically, the segment up to the western shores of Dragon Sound. The far western segments were built by Derianor, and the eastern segments by Ammarind. Today, the road is paved with crushed white stones and is in excellent condition.
