On the outskirts of Hampi, amidst the endless stretches of lush green pastures, Viswa stood overseeing a project that would revolutionize the Empire's transport network.

The major road leading to the capital bustled with activity, traders and travelers alike passing by on their way to Hampi. Beside him stood a stone tablet, carved with directions and distances to the next major towns and cities. It was a vital marker for those journeying through the Empire's ever-expanding network of roads.

The capital's roads, especially those leading to Hampi, had seen an unprecedented surge in traffic due to the influx of traders and pilgrims. The existing rest areas, designed for fewer travelers, had become inadequate. With land already allocated for future expansions, Viswa had spearheaded efforts to enlarge these rest areas.
