	The Gloaming Road was a trade route that crossed the dusty Lasambrian hills between [[Faraden]] and [[Segura]]. Once just another nameless path through the arid wilderness, its prominence dramatically increased after a pernicious blight laid waste to the [[Mundane_beasts#Iridescent_Butterfly\|iridescent butterfly]] population of the [[forest\|forests]] of northern Faraden in Autumn 380YE. Merchants of that nation then brokered a trade deal with the Freeborn, exchanging precious mithril for vast amounts of [[Materials#Iridescent Gloaming\|iridescent gloaming]] from the Empire. The Gloaming Road bustled with caravans hauling valuable goods, and Faraden requested an overseer be appointed from among the Freeborn to manage the exchange.

	When it was first created the position of overseer of the Gloaming Road was ''not'' an [[Imperial title]]; rather it represented a [[Resource#Campaign_Resource\|campaign resource]] appointed by the [[Ambassador to Faraden]] and their opposite number ''Lady Saretta of the Red Moon''.

	In the lead-up to the Autumn Equinox 386YE, then [[Ambassador to Faraden]] Ebenezer of the Marches passed on concerns about the profitability of the trade route. While the merchants participating in the Gloaming Road were unconcerned, Mistress Singua referenced the fact it would be ''much'' easier for the Empire to secure Faraden mithril via a port such as [[Butterfly_in_reverse#A_Port_in_a_Storm\|Caitun]]. In the end, the [[Senate]] voted to [[386YE_Autumn_Equinox_Senate_sessions#Abrogate_the_Overseer_of_the_Gloaming_Road\|abrogate]] the Gloaming Road. Faraden merchants still make the risky trek through the Lasambrian hills to the Brass Coast, but they do so without any assurance that their mithril will be easily traded for iridescent gloaming.

The results were disastrous for the carefully-cultivated forests where Faraden silk-harvesters worked, shattering the production of iridescent gloaming over a few short months.

	The Gloaming Road is a trade route that crosses the dusty Lasambrian hills between [[Faraden]] and [[Segura]]. Once just another nameless path through the arid wilderness, its prominence dramatically increased in recent years. In Autumn 380YE a pernicious blight laid waste to the [[Mundane_beasts#Iridescent_Butterfly\|iridescent butterfly]] population of the [[forest\|forests]] of northern Faraden. Merchants of that nation then brokered a trade deal with the Freeborn, exchanging precious mithril for vast amounts of [[Materials#Iridescent Gloaming\|~~Iridescent Gloaming~~]] from the Empire. The Gloaming Road bustled with caravans hauling valuable goods, and Faraden requested an overseer be appointed from among the Freeborn to manage the exchange.

	The change to Imperial title has not changed the responsibilities of the Overseer. They are expected to ensure the continued exchange of iridescent gloaming with Faraden. Numerous minor, independent Imperial and Faraden merchants are taking advantage of the thriving trade route to do business, but it falls to the overseer to handle the bulk of the trade taking place - and to ensure that it continues unabated. This is further complicated by the presence of the [[Jotun]] in the Lasambrian hills - while there is an agreement to allow Faraden traders to pass unmolested, no such arrangement exists for Imperial merchants. As a consequence, Imperial gloaming traders congregate at the [[Segura_spoils_of_war#Kabalai_Palace\|Kabalai Palace]] and deal with the weary Faraden when they arrive in [[Segura]].

			Shortly before the Autumn Equinox 385YE, news reached Anvil of the [[Ship_to_wreck#Closer_to_Home\|renegotiation of the treaty]] between the Faraden and the Jotun allowing merchants to pass through the Lasambrian Hills. The price to purchase mithril has increased by a further fifth over what it was in previous seasons; the Faraden are now having to pay through the nose to bring any caravans through the Lasambrian hills.
