Still active.

Yes, in Prax they are Ronance's roads, aka Ley Lines. There's a highway from the Paps to the Vent.

The only published hints are in Wyrm's Footprints - Redbird's (from Cliffhome) and the Colymar Storm Bulls' (from Old Wind?) travels to Stormwalk Mountain during the latter stages of Starbrow's Rebellion.

Unless you take the leaping/step counting quests of e.g. Mastakos' seven steps west, Sunset Leap, Little Big's release...
