The Jade Road was a prominent trade network that traversed from eastern Ochran to the western nations of Belisaria, making numerous stops in various ancient civilizations. Renowned for facilitating the earliest connection between the East and West, it facilitated the exchange of goods, knowledge, and commerce throughout the centuries. Historians posit that its establishment occurred approximately 200 BC, and it remained in widespread use until the advent of sea trade in the 1400s. The term “Jade Road” was coined by historians, as it was initially conceived to fulfill a specific demand for jade from the East in numerous western states. The Jade Road stands out for its extensive exchange of diverse trade goods over the millennia and endured through periods of significant political upheaval. Nations and empires situated along the routes of the Jade Road, such as those that existed in contemporary Tarsas and Zilung Chen, profited immensely by serving as outposts for the road.
