&&........ 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 ..&...&.&&
&..&....&& all of these, or none. &..&....&&
&&..&...&. &&..&...&.

&.&&..&... .&&&..&...
..&&&..&.. 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. ..&....&&&
