Early History . The road was named for Lord Mi ' ihen , the founder of the Crusaders , then called the Crimson Blades , who walked down the old path on his way to Bevelle to answer the challenge that his group was a threat to Yevon . It is called a Highroad because of both its altitude in relation to Luca , and because Mi ' ihen walked the " Highroad " when he decided to face the Maester s of Yevon instead of antagonizing them . Five hundred years ago the highroad was destroyed by Sin , and a new highroad constructed to its place . The old highroad became known as the " old road " .

People who need to cross the highroad generally travel by chocobo , as it is safer than dealing with the fiends .
