Shanala, The Infinite Road
In the apex of the Aurumari Empire, the twelve giant clans sought to expand trade routes to other kingdoms throughout the world. The patron fathers of the clans traveled deep into the Nephratim Spine, where they petitioned the greatest fire giant smiths to forge a road that led to everywhere.
Thus Shanala was born, molded by the hands of eight thousand smiths. Through the road Aurumar grew, from Nephratim to Denes-Thail, to the wastes of Chormar and the fey kingdom of Cuesc'qued'llfen.
When the world shattered, Shanala resisted, stretching and bending instead. Where the shards ended, the road phased into the Plane of Shadow-creating shortcuts where one could walk from one shard to the next in just a few hours.
Planar Traits
Physical Traits

- Morphic: Divinely Morphic.
Planar Connections
Shanala in entwined with both the Material Plane and the Plane of Shadow. The areas where it connects with these two planes (known as khymr in Giant), the road often appears as part of another road or path in a nondescript area, such as an ancient mountain path or a woodland cul-de-sac. Moving from a road, through a khymr, and into Shanala is often accidental; a Survival check (generally DC 35) may be allowed by the DM to identify a khymr.
In the ruins of Enumpera, a tome exists that lists the precise locations of the twenty seven khymrs made by the giants.
