The western road from Ravensgate runs parallel a tributary of the river, along a road that circumnavigates several mountains.   The first major community reached along this road is the dwarven city of Highforge, population 7,500, approximately 80 miles west and slightly north of Ravensgate.   Highforge is a walled city situated atop an elevated mountain plateau.  The western road then continues through a forested valley through a mountain notch.   The valley is owned by the Highforge King, whose wealth is tied to the forests, which have the only harvestable timber within fifty miles of the dwarven city.    Most of this timber is harvested for support beams in the multitude of dwarven mines of this region.  The next community along the western road is the dwarven military city of Fort Burin, population 10,000, 65 miles northwest of Highforge.  Another road heads south through the mountains from Highforge, to Fort Drundarr, another walled dwarven city of 6,000, located 45 miles to the southwest.The other road travels to the northeast, the first major community reached being the human and elvan town of Riflathion, population 1,700, approximately 60 miles northeast of Ravensgate.   The road then forks, heading north to the elvan Kingdoms of Tauralda and Silvanost, and east to the human city state known as the Dimitri Kingdom, population 6,500.</blockquote>
