The Saddleway
The Saddleway is the accumulation of a dozen decades of work by successive Grand Artisans. Starting as a simple method to move the mineral corpses of their dwarven bretheren, the Saddleway is a devil-engine powered rail system that has been adapted to ferry people across Orasrupt at high speeds.
The Saddleway has already been used in multiple military engagements in its relatively short usage.
Depending on the thickness of someone's accent, it is very possible to mistake Saddleway for Sadhu Way. The Artisan's Guild stubbornly refuses to change this name.
