Old Road

== Summary ==
The Old Road is reachable from the Wolfen Wood, and connects that region to two not-yet-implemented areas: the Lycan town of Howling Tree, and the New Road through the eastern plains. 
Encounters in the Old Road are exclusively mass combats, making it a good place to hang out if you are looking for more of those. Make sure you have as many Followers as possible in your party (assign them to Boost or Cover) and at least 8 pawns, preferably strong ones. 
Until more locations are implemented, this is a dead end area. It's a good place to play around with mass combat on demand, but otherwise there is no need to come here yet. 
== Lore ==
The Old Road is the main trade route connecting the Lycan's main population center with the outside world. Under the bluescales' rule, it has been left to deteriorate and become plagued with bandits, leaving only a few caravans willing to brave the dangers while smaller traders don't dare transport their goods. 
== Notable Dangers ==
Mass combats here vary in strength, and can include enemies up to level 20, and quantities up to 20 enemies (vs your maximum of 15). Fortunately, you can easily flee in the first round if desired.
