One note on this. The wiki page on the Silver Road is missing the fact that there is a "fey" forest about 1/2 to 2/3 of the way to Tritower from Venza to the east of the road that has a western arm covering about a day's worth of travel on the road. Even the normal fey of the world tend to avoid it, as do most of the locals, especially since a message was sent out from the woods saying "you leave us alone, we'll leave you alone. Locals tells of enmity between the normal fey and the fey that inhabit these woods, but little else is known aside from the fact that this enmity goes back beyond human settlement. Wlat little is known about the woods make the normal fey seem normal. I used it as an scene in the Expansion adventure.

When you get to the next inn, and inquire about the incident, you get the full story. The Feywood has a mysterious place not well suited to casual exploration for as long as human settlements have existed in the region. The central mass lay to the east of the Silver Road, going all the way over to the Tang River, but one of the smaller, but still significant branches had been cut across from very early on due to the rough geography of the coast directly to the west of the branch. Most people suspected that it had once been home to fey, and they were proven correct when about a century and a half ago, a strange proclamation had been sent to all of the communities neighboring the woods. It declared that the Court had returned to it's summer home, and while excursions into the center of the wood would not be tolerated while the court was present, the court recognized that the development of path and roads in and through some of the smalller branches was to be expected, and so long as no new paths attempted to dissect the heart of the forest, most of the existing paths would be allowed to continue to function.
Given that none of the trails had been anywhere near the areas the Court claimed for itself, since those were some of the most unreachable and oddest parts of the forest, and the few that had seen them described them as being otherworldly, with the presence of the fey Court there simply confirming why they had been generally avoided in the first place, and since the proclamation did nothing to challenge existing local practices, people accepted the proclamation as the offical word, and aside from the occasional individual from one side or the other, as well as the occasional escort like the one you receieved, there had been little interaction between the 2 worlds.
