Seven colossal stone crossings connect the settled lands of Ortshire above a vast ocean of clouds. They are more than roads: they are lifelines.
The seven crossings
1. North Span. The First Watch. A cold frontier route where bell towers stand above the highest winds.
2. Stonegate Span. Trade and Passage. Merchants cross its crowded arches every day.
3. The High Span. Heart of the Realm. The central road leading toward the Argent Crown.
4. Mistfall Span. Where Clouds Descend. Waterfalls disappear into an uncharted chasm below.
5. Twinlight Span. East and West United. Two ancient towers guard opposite ends of this crossing.
6. The Broken Span. A Warning Ignored. Once repaired after a collapse; its foundations remain disputed.
7. The Far Span. Secrets Beyond. The most distant crossing, where the eastern watch keeps its vigil.
The bells
Each crossing has a warning bell. Their sound is both practical and ceremonial: a signal that the roads remain open and the realm remains connected.
On the night of the dragon’s return, the bells fall silent. As Mira Senn investigates, the silence begins to look less like an omen and more like a coordinated act.
