Twilight Road
Twilight Roads are a type of Trod.
Overview
The fae refer to those unknown trods not protected by the Silver Path as the "Twilight Roads." Because the Earthward fae were victorious in the War of Trees, most trods leading to the waking realms are so protected; entrances usable by the Denizens are rare. Though Ravana's death re-opened many old paths, these are a distinct minority in the Near Dreaming. Twilight Roads increase exponentially in the deeper realms. Many of the Twilight Roads are one way, like the Paths of Balor. Denizens who follow them into the waking realm have a hard time returning unless they can find a non-silvered route back out. Many of the Denizens who enter the waking world thus become trapped. Most Twilight Roads can be traveled by anyone; thus changelings may travel these trods (if they can find them) but do not enjoy the benefits of the Silver Path. Few of these paths are well mapped by Kithain and many are a mystery even to the Dark-kin. To changelings such trods are dark, dangerous, and best used with caution... if at all.
