What is Crossroads

Throughout the narrative, a crossroads (a place where two roads meet) is portrayed as a place where the souls of the dead congregate. They sometimes make their own way there, other times they are led there by a collector of souls like the Deathless Man, other times they are drawn there by artifacts and mementoes left by their loved ones. The crossroads near Brejevina is the setting for Natalia's late-in-the-narrative attempt to meet the Deathless Man.
