Probably: I never had to figure that out. The players only got a good look at the single stones that marked the line of the road, they never saw entry points. Carnac might be a better comparison that Stonehenge in that sense. Or the avenues leading away from Avebury. Same feeling of being ancient.

A bunch of dragonnewts had been doing a strange ritual to reactivate a dead road. I see dragonnewts as either having a lot of control over Time or being very flexible about Time, or something like that. So pre-ceremony, no stones, post-ceremony, stones thousands of years old. Editing the past or future may be impossible for humans, but for dragon-newts it's easy. They just have problems with the present :)

As a player, I've travelled by dragonnewt road. but that was years ago, and sadly I don't remember the FX involved.
Eventually my players will, too. I was just scene-setting for events game-years in the future, when they find out about the dragon-duck links (when Orlanth promised to give the ducks Flight back, he was actually offering to turn them into dragons: yes, this is an EWF variant of Orlanth!). And it would probably have fed into the Dragonrise somehow.

Post to the Glorantha3D list, perhaps?
