-There are a number of Trade Routes that impact on this area.  The map is large scale and does not show national borders particularly well, although the most significant countries and cities are marked.  The large H represents Midmarch, while the purple line across the river between Midmarch and Restov represents a pair of waterfalls that stop river traffic.

 ==== The East Sellen River (2) ====
- (Secondary Trade Route) connects the metropolis of New Stetven to Mivon and onto the primary trade route of the River Sellen. The Lebeda and various Mivonese traders are the primary merchants working along this trade route, although the Surtova are involved as well. Trade along this route has always suffered from River Pirates and monster attacks.  The settlement at Fort Drelev was supposed to sort those out.

 ==== The Rostland Road (4) ====
-(Local Trade Route)  connects Restov to New Stetven via Brundeston, The Rostland Plains and House Khavortorov.   Overland caravans are slower than river travel, and all trade has to pay taxes in New Stetven, so it is not a very prosperous route for traders. No one house or group dominate it, although Black Fir (owned by the Mayor of Restov) are the main merchant house on this route, DELEM have become the second most significant trader along this route.

 ==== The Great North Road (5) ====
-{{ :stolen_land:general:greatnorthroad.gif?100|}}5)  (Local Trade Route) The Great North Road connects Lake of Mists and Veils and Lake Reykal - It is  approximately 150 miles in length, connects Port Ice to Silverhall and enables trade between Port Ice and New Steven.  It incorporates side routes out to The Garess of Greyhaven and The Orlovsky, connects Brevoy's two main external trade routes - the Lake of Mists and Veils and The East Sellen River - and is probably Brevoy's most important Local Trade Route. The Northern end of the route passes through land controlled by House Surtova and finishes in their principle stronghold of Port Ice. The southern section of the route terminates at a small town (opposite Silverhall) controlled by House Lebeda.  In between there are many independent holding (mainly fortified villages) that provide safe haven and rest stops for trade caravans.  While many of these 'independent' lordlings have links to  major noble families, they are not actually a part of the family. There are, however, a few villages completely free of any tie to a larger house. The road, and the strip next to it, it are considered 'safe', although there is wilderness beyond that.
