Variations of the roads

The Obsidian Road is the original Earth Elemental highway. These were created many centuries ago by one of the many invading forces, masters of earth elemental and deep arcane secrets. The older roads resemble rivers that are frozen into black glass. These obsidian rivers are highly irregular, and can be hard to travel on (difficult terrain) for non-magical traffic. Only the magical floating vehicles will be effective on the Obsidian Road.

The Open Roads are the modern imperial roads, these are made from a more finished and polished sheet of the same Obsidian material. The open road is used by mundane foot traffic and wagons to good effect. Plus the open road enables a number of adaptations that initiates of the Roads systems can use for protection, scrying or transportation.
