The Tafod River's swift and dangerous waters make it nearly impossible to cross the river by foot, and even less likely to ford with horses or carts. Chanter's Crossing was created by a group of naturalists who believed there could be a way to cross the bridge that would preserve the balance of nature and civilization. This 70 foot bridge was carved from stones that had fallen into the river many years ago, and wood gathered from the nearby forest. The winds that flow down from the mountains cause the long, furry strips of hanging moss on the bridge's underside to take on the appearance of a caterpillar crawling across the water. During the construction, the naturalists carved tokens and glyphs and affixed trinkets with leather lashes into the bridge. Some of the tokens are as old as the bridge - about 100 years - but most are newer. A traveler versed in druidic would be able to read the words carved into the stone and wood as messages of thanks and apology to nature for needing the resources of the incari who call this area their home. The bridge is wide enough for a single cart to pass at a time, and small boats can traverse beneath it with relative ease.
