While there are Khunan villages and hamlets scattered across Valenar, there is only one major highway in the territory. This is the Old Road, which runs from Pylas Maradal on the southern coast to Norinath in the northeast. Tairnadal warbands patrol the Old Road, ensuring that it is safe for their Lyrandar allies and those khunans who wish to travel. However, while you may not have to worry about bandits or other predators, you will find no inns or other amenities along the Old Road. If you seek supplies or comfort after crossing the desert, you will want to stop in the town of Keth, the third largest community in Valenar. While the khunan inhabitants might shun your company, under the guidance of House Lyrandar, Keth has brought in representatives from many of the dragonmarked houses. In addition to the Gold Dragon Inn of House Ghallanda, you will find Malar d'Jorasco's house of healing, the Cannith-licensed Sand & Steel smithy, and an outpost of House Lyrandar. Barges run south along the river every day, while airships pass through Keth twice weekly; if your trek through the desert was harder than you anticipated, you can certainly ride the rest of the way to Taer Valaestas.
As long as you avoid provoking the Valaes Tairn themselves you will find few risks on the Old Road. Whether you travel by land, sea, or air, you will soon come to Taer Valaestas, the heart of Valenar and the seat of the Darkwood Crown. And it is there that your adventure truly begins.
