An intersection is guaranteed to have a rest stop, a bar, a convenience store, and some form of security. The primary function of an intersection is to provide a reliable, relatively safe area for travelers so that they can stop, rest, and restock on essentials such as food and ammunition before continuing on their journey. They can also serve as semi-permanent shop hubs, where traders sometimes install themselves to sell their wares to passing travelers until their stocks are depleted; at which point they leave, and the shops are closed until they return (or a new trader replaces them).
Intersections are officially neutral and not controlled by any particular [[faction]]. Intersection inhabitants are typically [[humans]], [[halflings]] and [[youkai]], with small numbers of other [[:Category:Civilized creatures|civilized]] and [[:Category:Sapient creatures|sapient]] creatures. The [[Maze Police]] considers all intersections to be legal grounds for enforcement of [[Standard Law]], but actual enforcement may not be guaranteed everywhere, particularly in regions with strong faction influence, or in exceptionally remote locations.
In total, there are '''29''' intersections in the Mazes.
