Silvercut Crossroads

The Silvercut Crossroads is a crossroads located north of Kymal that connects the Silvercut Roadway (from Emon in the west to Stilben in the east) to the Wildwood Byway (from Kraghammer in the north to Syngorn in the south).

History
During the Scattered War in the reign of the Drassigs, a gallows at the Crossroads was used to execute war heroes and innocents alike. Following the rise of Zan Tal'Dorei, the gallows was torn down and replaced with a solemn grave site and stone monument. There is rumored unrest among the dead there, and travelers tend to avoid camping in the area.

Long before adventuring with Vox Machina, Scanlan Shorthalt stayed briefly in a small town just south of the Crossroads and had a brief fling with Sybil, resulting in the birth of Kaylie without his knowledge. Sybil and Kaylie were the only gnomes in town, which opened Kaylie to being preyed upon, which caused her to develop fierce defenses.
