The King's Road was once a grand elevated highway which was supported by large pillars thirty feet in the air running on pillars for 600 miles from Thon-Thalas in the east to Purstal in the west. Originally molded from stone by House Mason of the Silvanesti Elves as a means to travel from Silvanesti, through the Plains of Dust and into Qualinesti, it was widely used by merchants and travelers. However during the Cataclysm the highway collapsed near Purstal and lies in ruins further west of that point.
Legends persist that in ancient times, the King's Road once led from Silvanesti all the way to Sancrist, however there is no proof of this in modern times.
