First Blade's Path
The First Blade's Path is a dry riverbed, suspected to be artificial in nature, that stretches across central Numeria. Local legends suggest it was the path that the First Blade, herald of Gorum, dragged an alien weapon eastward from a tomb south of Starfall for reasons unknown, and as of 4716 AR the region was frequented by Gorumite pilgrims.1
Geography
The Path measures on average about 30 feet across and 12 feet in depth, but at its widest point is about 4,000 feet across and 150 feet deep. It demarcates the northern border of the Numerian Plains from Sovereign's Reach and runs for hundreds of miles from Starfall to the Sellen River.1
A trade route from Hajoth Hakados to Starfall by way of Torch crosses the First Blade's Path north of the Gorum Pots.2
Inhabitants
The adamantine dragon inventor Trivorrin lairs in the First Blade's Path, from whence he arbitrates disputes among the region's tribes and collects tributes of technology for safe passage.3
The Silent Sentinel, primarily associated with the Felldales of Numeria, has also been witnessed wandering the First Blade's Path.4
