The '''Onyx Road Network''' is a system of paved roads built by the [[Onyx Empire]] before and during the [[Wars of Arin]]. The system was the brainchild of [[Morjec]], the right-hand man of [[Keraptis]], who was well known for his drive to build physical manifestations of the power of the empire.

Construction of the roads began during the reign of [[Lloyd VI]]. They were mostly built in [[Arin]], but a few were also constructed in what was then [[Garnath]], and even extended into [[Alior]], [[Tanilon]], and even [[Tyllan]]. They were designated with numbers rather than names -- the lower the number, the earlier the road had been built. [[Onyx Road 1]] linked [[Arek]] -- then the capital -- to the city of [[Floyk]] to the northeast.

These roads served primarily as trade routes at first, but during the wars eventually they became the primary means to move troops and supplies around the empire. As the fighting turned against the empire, many of the roads were destroyed by [[White Alliance]] [[White Army|forces]], while a few were destroyed by retreating [[Onyx Army]] troops. Sections of the original roads do exist in some spots, while others are being rebuilt, especially by the Dwarves of [[Thorin's clan]] in the northern foothills of the [[Thair Mountains]]. Most, however, have simply been abandoned.
