@&&&¤%^~.¨ roads are physical representations of ¨.~^%¤&&&@
&¤%~.¨¨¨¨¨ the lines on maps that tell you where ¨¨¨¨¨.~%¤&
###@&¤%^.¨ you can travel. ¨.^%¤&@###
&&%%~~¨¨¨¨ ¨¨¨¨~~%%&&
&%%%~.¨¨¨¨ those called roads are for cars. for ¨¨¨¨.~%%%&
&&¤¤^~¨¨¨¨ bikes they are called paths, for trains ¨¨¨¨~^¤¤&&
##@&¤%^~.¨ they are called rails. ¨.~^%¤&@##

@¤¤%^.¨¨¨¨ when traveling by foot, you can follow ¨¨¨¨.^%¤¤@

##@&¤%^~.¨ most roads are elevated, suspended ¨.~^%¤&@##
@¤^^^~¨¨¨¨ between three to a hundred (rare) ¨¨¨¨~^^^¤@
#@@&¤%^~.¨ meters above ground. the closer you get ¨.~^%¤&@@#
&¤%^^.¨¨¨¨ to a city, the more intertwined they ¨¨¨¨.^^%¤&
##@&¤%^~.¨ get. ¨.~^%¤&@##
&&&&¤%^~.¨ ¨.~^%¤&&&&
@¤¤%~..¨¨¨ in such areas, all crossings and ¨¨¨..~%¤¤@
&¤^..¨¨¨¨¨ intersections are placed in tunnels, or ¨¨¨¨¨..^¤&
##@&¤%^~.¨ special tower-like structures called ¨.~^%¤&@##
#@@&¤%^~.¨ outposts, which enfold the roads where ¨.~^%¤&@@#
##@&¤%^~.¨ they interact. ¨.~^%¤&@##

##@&¤%^~.¨ here and there you will find symbols in ¨.~^%¤&@##
##@&¤%^~.¨ white, on the asphalt. these are meant ¨.~^%¤&@##
#@&¤%%^~.¨ to tell the drivers about what ¨.~^%%¤&@#
#&%%^...¨¨ manouvers they allowed to perform on ¨¨...^%%
@@¤%^^.¨¨¨ that particular stretch of road. ¨¨¨.^^%¤@@
#@@&¤%^~.¨ ¨.~^%¤&@@#
##@&¤%^~.¨ however, some creatures paint their own ¨.~^%¤&@##
##@&¤%^~.¨ illicit symbols encoding territorial ¨.~^%¤&@##
##@&¤%^~.¨ claims, nearby resources, or other ¨.~^%¤&@##
##@&¤%^~.¨ unknown and mysterious things. ¨.~^%¤&@##
