− | At the creation of | + | 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. | 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.
