Now would be a good time to ask, any roads that are fantastical in nature? e.g. a road made of multiple Wall of Force spells or living vines that are horse length thick?— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 1, 2020
1)
There’s the Moonbridge, that spans the River Rauvin to join Northbank Silverymoon and Southbank Silverymoon, and there are several other elven extra-dimensional “moon magic” roads that appear wholly in the Prime Material Plane…#Realmslore 2)
…Prime Material only under moonlit conditions, scattered across Faerûn. Many Wall of Force roads have been used for castle drawbridges (i.e. short, straight spans).#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 1, 2020
Question(s) then: How much moonlight (do clouds block these bridges from forming)? Or are these bridges dependent upon the phases of the moon?

1)
It varies by the bridge (or rather, the precise enchantments used to create it). Very few are subject to lunar phases, but some will ‘melt away’ or not form at all in overcast or other no-moonlight conditions.
Most, however, 2)
…absorb moonlight (like a real-world solar battery taking in sunlight) to empower their continued existence, so they still exist when there’s no moonlight. Most of this latter sort give off a moonlight glow when they’re solid.#Realmslore— Ed Greenwood (@TheEdVerse) May 2, 2020
