The first ‘imperial’ roads were built by the third emperor, Eldebrin I, between 92 and 135 L.R., mostly on existing road systems in the eight original provinces of Lécaron, Belkondíl, Geran, the Olgish Reknaya, Ukkar, Olgish Seligon, Armundia, and the North-Western Colonies. Intended to strengthen the coherence of his empire, Eldebrin’s road system proved crucial to the success of the early emperors in consolidating their power over the young empire and was part of the origin for this epithet Ginetar ‘the constructor’. | The first ‘imperial’ roads were built by the third emperor, Eldebrin I, between 92 and 135 L.R., mostly on existing road systems in the eight original provinces of Lécaron, Belkondíl, Geran, the Olgish Reknaya, Ukkar, Olgish Seligon, Armundia, Oshale, and the North-Western Colonies.

An umbrella term for all road constructions in Old Seligon after its conquest in 317 L.R., mostly following existing Iilish roads with little additional work required. From Mebetgar/Loskilón northward along the Sevnail, splitting north of Kirin, with a short western route leading to Kurec and a longer eastern one through the Gap of Songilec into Amasia; sometimes, the road is considered to extend all the way through Amasia to Parsan, where it meets the Niom Olgi. Smaller side connections lead to Dria, Bron, and Panaris. Named ''Aula'' ‘waters’ after the Iiles’ traditional connection with the element water. | An umbrella term for all road constructions in Old Seligon after its conquest in 317 L.R., mostly following existing Iilish roads with little additional work required.
