	''If you look at the map here behind me, you’ll see where the various work gangs are at the moment. You’ll also notice that the Road is shaped like an “8” lying on its side. So there’s two routes that you can take – one is the Royal Loop, which goes all along the outside. That takes 117 days to travel. The other route is the Royal Eight, that’s when you travel the whole thing, and you’re doing this bit in the middle, between [[Coth-Rom]] and [[Torbeck]], twice. That takes 141 days. I’m not sure how often, but from time to time the King does the Royal Eight, and I can tell you, that’s a pretty impressive sight to see!

	''Well, the Royal Road is just a magnificent wonder, isn’t it? There’s nothing like it anywhere else in the world. Makes me proud to be a Kalderani! Sure, if you live in a village or town and you don’t really travel, you probably don’t think twice about the road. But if you’re on the move, then you realize how extraordinary it is. Such is the size of Kalderesh that if you wanted to travel to each of the major cities in the land, it would take you about one and a half years. But if you use the Royal Road, you can do the same thing in just 4 months! That’s because the road is very well built and its constantly maintained, by us.
