Minecraft:Routes of Erisiana

Template:Hatnote Erisiana has an extensive transportation network connecting all areas of its empire. Routes built since YOLD 3180 are built to a more or less consistent standard, though the standards have evolved over time. Generally, they are 5 wide (older routes or those less travelled are 3 wide), made of stone brick (cobblestone is present on older routes), have sufficient lighting to keep mobs from spawning on the road itself, no steep drops, and barriers to prevent possibly fatal crashes. Newer routes have yellow markers on the side of the road in some places to differentiate pavement. See Erisiana route standards.

Three digit routes are connectors to other highways.

Erisiana Routes are labelled as E-n, where n is the route number.

Erisiana Route 2

Erisiana Route 2 begins at the joint castle north entrance in Mountain Home, becoming concurrent with Erisiana Route 3 near the west entrance. It then branches off near the customs checkpoint, passing through it, then going northbound to New Seattle over the New Seattle Bridge. It terminates at New Seattle Route 1 at the New Seattle Airport.

Erisiana Route 3

Erisiana Route 3 begins at the Inverness-Mountain Home border near the docks at Inverness, then becomes temporarily concurrent with Erisiana Route 2 outside the joint castle west entrance. Going eastbound, they split off near the customs checkpoint; Erisiana Route 3 continues west to Unity Bridge.

Erisiana Route 4

Erisiana Route 4, also called the Probeland Expressway runs from central Podge south to Probeland, where it meets E-10. A ramp on the Sri Syadasti Bridge connects this route to E-10 in Triangle Junction.

Erisiana Route 5

Erisiana Route 5 runs from Erisiana Route 17 just west of Cascadia to Discord Valley in Mojo Province. As it is an obsolete route (having been replaced by Erisiana Route 17 being extended to Discord Valley via an old Erisiana Route 15 alignment), its maintenance has been mostly defunded. As a result, the route has many potholes and is in very poor condition.

Erisiana Route 6

Erisiana Route 6 Runs from Inverghlean, Caerpen, to Glenfearn, Caerpen, passing through Bell's End Territory.

Erisiana Route 7

Erisiana Route 7 runs from Malaclypse Route 10 near northwest Disaster to Six Ravines and Colbert in Mojo Province. It is an unlit route with numerous hazards, not all of which are marked. It is an alternate free route for those wishing to reach Mojo Province without using Erisiana Route 15, a tollway.

Erisiana Route 10

Erisiana Route 10 is Erisiana's longest route. It travels in a generally north-south direction, but has a long east-west component. It begins in New Seattle and terminates at Probeland at the Bay-Probe Bridge (the beginning of Allied Empire 1).

Names

Each segment of the highway has its own name:

• Cascadia Highway from New Seattle to Zarathud
• Portsmouth Highway from Zarathud to the M-2 intersection north of Portsmouth
• Malaclypse Beltway from the M-2 intersection to Sanity Point
• Not named between Sanity Point and Dissonance
• The Dissonance Overpass in Dissonance
• The Cacaphony Overpass in Cacaphony until the Eristotle Tunnel
• Seaside Highway from the Eristotle Tunnel through Probeland

New Seattle

It begins at the canal docks at New Seattle, then passes through a tunnel to Norton I Cave (a cave converted into a path with minimal modification).

Cascadia

It passes under the Canal Line, concurrent with the boundary of New Seattle (with a nearby Discordia Convenience), becoming the Cascadia Highway. It continues to a junction with Erisiana Route 7 (Finejo Spur) to Finejo and Erisiana Route 10 proper (under an Erisiana Guard Post). It continues north-northwestward on a plateau, past Cascadia (and the entrance to Malaclypse Route 7 to Erisiana Route 17).

Zarathud

It continues on to the Tower Point Bridge (across Cascadia Lake), to Malaclypse Route 6 (the Portsmouth Bypass). It passes through Zarathud, then becomes the Portsmouth Highway upon leaving the town.

Portsmouth

It goes around the edge of Portsmouth, intersecting with Malaclypse Route 1 and the Portsmouth Bypass, becoming the Malaclypse Beltway on the outskirts of The Aftermath.

The Aftermath

It passes the entrance to Erisiana Route 15 (Ancien Highway) before passing Disaster. There is a ramp to Stadium Circle in The Aftermath. It goes through Stadium Hill Tunnel, Helix Bridge, West Forest Tunnel, then passes Malaclypse Route 4 (Kallisti Expressway) Kallisti.

Outside Malaclypse

It loops away from the outside of Malaclypse, with ramps on Mung St. to The Aftermath; and Hipster St. and Satan St. to Upper Chaos. It then goes onwards to Ravenhurst Province, reaching a fork. The fork becomes Erisiana Route 10 Scenic that returns to Malaclypse Province Hardwood District (intersecting with a trail to Upper Chaos), but is dimly lit. Erisiana Route 10 proper passes through Sanity Point, then leaves town, intersecting a ramp for Hodge and another for Sanity Point. After Sanity Point, the route becomes an overpass until the Eristotle Tunnel, passing over Dissonance and Cacaphony, and reaching the outskirts of Malaclypse again, near Discord, with the highway via Malaclypse Route 8 and Malaclypse Route 5 (bypassing Dissonance). It continues on to the Eristotle Tunnel below Lake Eristotle.

Eristotle

After emerging from the Eristotle Tunnel, it becomes the Seaside Highway. It becomes a 3-lane cobblestone highway at this point (built before modern highway standards). It once again intersects Malaclypse Route 1, then continues on to the Sri Syadasti Waterway and passes over it via the Sri Syadasti Bridge.

Probeland

It enters Probeland District then reaches Probeland. It passes under the legs of The Train, passing The Train Station, then terminates at Allied Empire 1 to Bay City on the Bay-Probe Bridge.

Erisiana Route 12

Erisiana Route 12 is a route going under the Malaclypse Interior Waterway from The Aftermath (near the North Docks) to Finejo).

Erisiana Route 13

Erisiana Route 13 is a route connecting Mountain Home to New Seattle via Bell's End Territory. It begins at Mountain Home near the Caerpen Border, goes through the Caerpen Bypass Tunnel (to avoid crossing international boundaries), then meets up with Bell's End Route 2. It continues past that route to Bell's End Route 1 near Bell's End proper, then goes through the Berkeley Tunnel under the canal to New Seattle.

Erisiana Route 15

Erisiana Route 15 (known as the Ancien Highway its entire length) is a route that primarily connects Malaclypse with Ancien Via Ancien Route 5. It is Erisiana's first turnpike (toll road), and is the second longest highway in the system.

Built originally as a free highway, maintenance of the highway (and a desire for greater improvements such as safety rails, accident investigation sites, and travellers' oases) was prohibitively expensive, as there were no towns along its length at the time to share in the cost of improvements, aside from Cascadia (who protested greatly against the creation of the route; to spite them, Erisiana Route 17 and Malaclypse Route 13 were built nearby, further angering them). It was then subsequently converted into a toll road. The toll rate is one gold nugget for the entire length. All collected funds are used for turnpike maintenance only, with excess put into a trust for future road expansion.

Erisiana Route 15 begins near Disaster and The Aftermath, between Malaclypse Route 1 and the Stadium Circle exit on Erisiana Route 10. It passes near a junction with Malaclypse Route 10, a free exit to Kallisti and Zarathud for local traffic. After passing over Big Bend Bridge, the route then passes through Illuminati Tunnel, a natural cave converted to highway use; this area contains the toll booth and is the beginning of the turnpike. The highway then intersects Erisiana Route 17 outside Cascadia at a toll booth. After passing over the Discord Lake Lock, Dam, and Bordello #2 into Mojo Province, it reaches the Discord Valley junction and then a large plain near Colbert, which has a toll booth going to Mojo Route 2. It then goes to the the exiting toll booth, and subsequently the border with Ancien, leading to Ancien Route 5 in the Birchwood East region.

Erisiana Route 17

Erisiana Route 17 connects New Seattle to Erisiana Route 15 and [[Discord Valley]. It begins at Aurum St. in New Seattle, passes the Malaclypse Route 7 junction (connecting to Erisiana Route 10), then goes on to Malaclypse Route 12 and the Cascadia toll booth adjoining Erisiana Route 15. It then goes on to Discord Valley via an abandoned alignment of Erisiana Route 15, with the bridge over Discord Lake being enhanced with a fishing pier off the sides.
