The Bezdekia Road was a network of trade routes which connected the East and West Adulan continent, and was central to the economic, cultural, political, and religious interactions between these regions from the 2nd century BCE to the 18th century. The Bezdekia Road primarily refers to the land routes connecting Eastern Adula with Northwestern Adula.
The Bezdekia Road derives its name from the lucrative trade in Bezdekia gems carried out along its length. The Emmirian Empire expanded the Eastern section of the trade routes around 865 CE through the missions and explorations of the imperial envoy Jhay Quana, as well as several military conquests. The Durnstaal kingdoms took great interest in the security of their trade products and often took military measures to ensure the protection of the trade route.
The Bezdekia Road trade played a significant role in the development of the civilizations of Durnstaal, New Elkland, Mulfulira, Vitosium, Prydania, and Cadair, opening long-distance political and economic relations between the civilizations. Although Bezdekia gems were the major trade item exported from Prydania, many other goods and ideas were exchanged, including religions (especially Islam and Christianity), syncretic philosophies, sciences, and technologies like paper, silk, and gunpowder. So in addition to economic trade, the Bezdekia Road was a route for cultural trade among the civilizations along its network. Diseases, most notably plague, also spread along the Bezdekia Road.
In June 2014, the Coalition of Crown Albatross designated the Durnstaal-Elkland corridor of the Bezdekia Road as a World Heritage Site.
