Heading East from Stone Mill
Lee and Risia recognize the symbol as one that signifies a particular ancient elvish kingdom. Knowing this, however, does not really tell you much. All that it really means is that the road is very, very old, and that whoever built it was either on good terms with elves, or wanted to give the impression of being on such good terms.
[sblock=Risia ONLY]
Risia is reasonably certain that the symbol was not left by elves, because the surroundings are all wrong for a symbol like this. This is the sort of symbol that would be placed in a letter of introduction or on a tapestry of family history, not left in the wild with no interpretive context.
