Stone Bridge

A gigantic stone archway, two miles from end to end and four hundred feet tall at its apex, comfortably spans the Y River and the plain around it, remaining high and dry during even the worst springtime floods. The Stone Bridge is a sacred site of pilgrimage for many dwarves. Long ago, the dwarf god Z appeared atop the bridge to rally dwarves of the Ironstar clan against a horde of orcs, and the founder of the dwarven kingdom of Doregul, Thorin Fireforge, died fighting a fire titan in the same location. The Stone Bridge is made of smooth, fused granite. It is only 15 feet wide and lacks railings or barriers, so anyone traversing it is at the mercy of the wind.   Those that make the nerve wracking journey to the far side of the bridge are greeted by a way station settlement known as Tent Town. The "town" is little more than a collection of tents, wagons, and caravans providing food, fresh mounts, and other services to travelers. A contingent of dwarves and dragonborn from Citadel Sigmifell maintains watch over the bridge and settlement in a newly built keep.
