The Jeweled Road is a massive construct stretching from Amber to Chaos.
At the creation of [[Mandalay]], by Adrian and Ygg, a vast number of shadow trails, commercial routes and highways throughout shadow were thrown into massive renovations.  This process was sudden and effected in many manners. In some shadows the effect was a gradually change and in others a dramatically violent one.  In the end though many pathways between worlds were combined into the road that crossed many shadow realms as the forces of change swept east and west.

At the creation of Mandalay, by Adrian and Ygg, a vast number of shadow trails, commercial routes and highways throughout shadow were thrown into massive renovations.  This process was sudden and effected in many manners. In some shadows the effect was a gradually change and in others a dramatically violent one.  In the end though many pathways between worlds were combined into the road that crossed many shadow realms as the forces of change swept east and west.
  
 
At the time of the mark's creation Amber was also nearly finished with a massive re-pavement and upgrading of services project in amber featuring the creation of an extensive sewer project, running water plumbing and resurfacing of the streets and highways of amber with puzzled stone. All the streets of Amber were now covered by puzzled stone well out into shadow and as far as Diaga.  The road project had included installing sewers, indoor plumbing, water systesm using a company Random found in shadow called Mole Co which ran digging moles to create tunnels and pipelines beneath the surface.  It also constructed and laid the secure roadway in remarkable speed.

The road can be traveled from Amber to Mandalay in 10 days. From Mandalay to Chaos in 5 days. It takes 2 days to clear Mandalay. A very good trick indeed.

==Political Organization of the Jeweled Road==
 
Since the road itself is generally speaking, a new thing in shadow there is little formal organization of the road. Neither Chaos, Amber, Mandalay, Regor, Azcala, or other primal realms connected to the road has laid a formal claim of possession on the whole road. Each of them has some influence over sections of the road directly connected to them.  Otherwise sections of Jeweled Road fall under the influence of local groups.
 
 
 
[[Rue Katal]] is the largest of the autonomous Jeweled Road Organizations and has a great deal of sway over the others.

Waymets are essentially hotels, hostels, and merchant spaces along the route of the Jeweled Road.  They vary from place to place with a few general similarities.

*In general a waymet is longer then it is deep.  The smallest of them is 50' by 25'.  There are millions in this size catalog.  The greatest, the [[Rue Katal]], is 250 miles long and 75 deep.  The average size is 1 mile in length and half a mile in depth.

*There is nearly always provender for beast.  Most wayments have wild foliage around them, since Mandalay was involved in the roads creation.  Often there are surrounding orchards, crops, gardens, fields and other kinds of available produce.  Hay, and greener for animals are usually available.

*There is nearly always provender for beast.
*Most Waymets have some form of housing.  While these might be simple as tents or pavilions, the manner in which the road was created, gathering together chunks of existing roads throughout shadow, means that sections that already had some kind of inn were often included.
