Overview
These major paths cut from the center of LYM City to the north, southeast, and southwest. Combined with the Great Paths they allow primary travel to near any part of the city.
Due to the long history and political powers that are drawn to LYM City these paths have become the routes for the wealth and aristocrats. Paved in polished stone, well guarded, cleaned, and even in some places blocked off to restrict access these paths see the powerful meandering to and fro or riding in carriages ranging from simple to ornate. On occasion one might see a retinue of an especially important figure pass by.
At the center of the city the paths raise up a set of steps to the elevated landing of City Hall separating it from the Common Walks below.

The Great Paths represent the class disparity within LYM that results from the aristocracy and white collar workers who support them. While many in the city do well enough these paths are a social barrier and not fitting in can cause one desiring to travel on them some problems. Those who don’t dress or act appropriately can find themselves faced with guards politely asking them to leave or shop keepers turning them away. This is especially true of many of the restaurants that serve the wealthiest.
