The Race for the Holy Route

Every three years, a race is held between the four trading houses of Thyria. The race is from Thyria through the Valtramain Forest, to the capitol city of ****. This race determines who will be given control of the main trade routes, namely the route that passes by the Shundaal Monastery (arguably the safest route between the two cities). It also grants the title of Trade Baron of Thyria to the patron of the winning house.
