Seed

The World

Milebound is a globe of road cities, toll forts, and far-flung frontiers held together by an ancient network of oathstone highways. The old roads still carry wards, messages, and luck, so power belongs to whoever can keep travel safe or make it dangerous. Kings, guilds, priests, and raiders all fight over the same thing: the right to move people and goods across a world that still remembers being one empire.

Form · Sphere

A single planet covered in continents, seas, and the remnants of an imperial road web that still marks the land like scars.

Traversal

People cross by road, river, ship, and overland march; long travel depends on the old highway chain and the safety of its mileposts.

The Ages

  1. The First Roads

    Age I

    The first settlers linked towns with stone roads and sworn mileposts, and travel became the basis of law, trade, and peace.

  2. The Crowned Roads

    Age II

    An empire unified the continent by controlling the road network, raising tolls, forts, and courts at every crossing.

  3. The Broken Mile

    Age III

    The empire fell when oathstones failed, roads cracked, and raiders, smugglers, and local lords carved the map into fiefdoms.

  4. The Open Way

    Age IV

    Now every power fights to restore, seize, or bypass the roads, because whoever holds safe passage holds the world.
