"Ok everyone: don’t let yourselves get too attached to this place before we leave. I know Spangorge is a wondrous sight for folks that have never been here before, but we’ve got supplies to load up and from here it’s up the Red Gorge and into the desert itself. Well, I guess it’s not fair to keep you from the sights here.  After all, this is the last real civilization you’ll see other than quick stop at the oasis at Arbella for a long time. But don’t wander off; it’s easier to get lost on this bridge than you think.

There is over a mile of bridge to wander around on, and almost every foot of it is has a shop, forge, guardhouse or home built onto, into, or under it. The families have built this place over the last 200 years and they take its well being very seriously. This makes sense as this bridge is the only real link between the east and west without traveling through the desert or taking to sea.

This bridge is the engineering marvel of the Wildlands and it never would have happened if not for the genius of the bridge’s two architects-a bridge builder and the first great tinkerer of these lands. You might recognize these ladies as the statues we walked under to get onto the bridge.

 You’ll never see more gears and cogs in any other part of the Wildlands. The folks who built this bridge took in the Gnimari as brothers along with their crazy new Tinkering when they arrived in these lands and you see it in the cablevators, mechanical symphonies, clocks, and drawbridges that are all around you. Don’t think those ballistae and catapults mounted on the guardhouses aren’t enhanced by the Tinkerers as well; they’ll shoot further than you’d ever guess and when they hit, their ammunition is better than rocks and arrows. The ends of the bridge can even be raised in an emergency to keep attackers from getting in.

You can buy just about anything you need here, but don’t be surprised if the price is higher than you would expect. Spangorge knows that they control this passage and their prices reflect it. If we weren’t working for the expedition to Onyx Hollow, we would have had to pay 5 silver a head just to cross. Of course the Spangorge members among you would argue that it costs a lot of money to keep this bridge maintained.

Get anything you need, although you might want to hold off on scrolls until we reach Arbella, the College Arcane is housed nearby in an old tower there and houses the finest scroll-makers in the lands, despite what any of the local merchants might tell you.

Oh, and don’t steal anything; the people here have been known to throw outsiders who steal from them off the bridge!  Those boulders down there look like pebbles from this height…"
