The sound of open roads
Every Span has watchtowers built to carry sound across the mist. Bellkeepers tend the towers, inspect their mechanisms, and relay the signals that tell merchants and travelers when a crossing can be used.
Their work is quiet and often overlooked. A functioning bell can be the difference between an ordinary journey and a caravan moving blindly into danger.
