As described by The Stalwart Wasteland Prince in missive to Chejop Kejak:

I must protest at being so misused, O Wise Master; I have spent these past five years researching all matters appropriate to Savants, and cataloguing them as you have requested -- but to what end? Do we not possess such information in greater detail within the Forbidding Manse of Ivy? To what end do I do all this?

Zhang Zhe Way was once known as the Great Golden Road; wide enough for twenty mounted men to march abreast, it ran the length of the journey from the heart of what was once known as the Bitter Flower Empire in the Southeast of Creation to the southmost island of The Namarath Principality, whose flying islands dominated the skies over the Western seas.

Zhang Zhe Way was notable due to several features, the foremost being that the majority of the road happened to be aerial in nature; though each endpoint was grounded, the entirety of the road between the two floated without supports. Its secondary feature of importance was that it was the only direct road connecting the two kingdoms. Its third was a minor sorcery that made travel along the enormous distance most efficient and quick, and the last notable feature was that one in possession of the Hearthstone of the Manse-Bulwark would possess control over the road itself, allowing him to sink or elevate portions of the road at will - immediately halting the progress of any forces across the road.

Zhang Zhe Way made its most notable point in history as being the location of the Battle of Quickening Vines, the final battle of the Lace and Paper War, which erupted between The Bitter Flower Empire and the Namarath Principality - nominally over taxes over the respective products for which the war was named, though in actuality because of the Bitter Flower Empire's underhanded tactics in attempting to steal kravelt-smithing secrets from the Namarath Principality. The Way's collapse coincided with the end of the war, as well as the end of the Namarath Principality.

I feel as though I should note that you are technically breaking the rules here -- you aren't supposed to cite yourself, but you are allowed to mention your entries in the entry. This effectively means that you should cite at least three entries that you haven't written (in this entry, you only cite two). (The purpose of the rule is to ensure adequate interwingling, if you see what I mean.) (I guess you also technically broke the rules by writing more than one entry for M, but I figure at this point that rule really doesn't matter at all.)
