To be a pilgrim on the West Road to the Springs is to walk in the
footsteps of Dav during the most trying time in his life. To fulfill the
Law of the Springs, every [[The Holy Order of King Dav|Davite]] must make the trip into the [[Tarn Mountains|Tarns]]. The
pilgrimage takes over a month on foot. Pilgrims wear simple clothing and
shoes, perhaps taking a walking stick along with them. They carry little
money and move from shrine to shrine on their way to the Springs. With the
Law of the Springs, doctrine has sprung into place that allows pilgrims to
ask for nightly succor on their way to the Springs, free of charge.

The road is protected by a small contingent of knights to prevent bandits
from taking advantage of the pilgrims. They would not be front-line
caliber, but they could be made up of retired knights at least. It is also
likely that vendors would appear on the route into the Tarn, providing
religious trinkets and small things to sacrifice once they arrive.

Though the upper springs are protected and reserved for the Patriarch, the
Royal Family, and other titled Nobility, the lower springs and fresh areas
of the Tarn has water that the common people consider holy. Bathing in the
areas of the river, the waters that are not yet polluted by the city of
[[Lithmore]], is seen as a religious experience.
