The Deep Roads are not a single unified structure but a layered and often labyrinthine system of interconnected tunnels.

== Navigation and Marking Systems ==
Due to the complexity of the Deep Roads, navigation relies on both physical and tonal systems:
* '''Marking Stones''' – Embedded mineral markers that glow faintly when struck or touched by tuned tools. Used to denote junctions, dangers, or key locations.
* '''Sound Beacons''' – Low-frequency harmonic resonators placed at key intervals. Trained resonance-keepers can interpret their tones to orient within deep sections of the network.

Notable junctions include the Hollowgate Descent beneath [[Sanctuary Vale]] and the fractured chamber systems under the [[Fractured Wedge]], where [[Orasian]] and Minthari access routes occasionally intersect.

The Deep Roads serve as a primary artery for resource trade across Terasil, especially in stone, metals, and crafted tools. Control of key junctions has occasionally led to disputes, particularly in early phases of Minthari expansion. However, formal pacts and stone-etched agreements between Orasian councils and Minthari elders have maintained stability across most of the system.
