  1. I look forward to the storm of creative world-building replies that this question will provoke. 🙂

    (also, the use of ‘actually’ in that question is just… mwah!)

  2. considering that the bridge links the areas where the steel workers live and work, i would think it pretty vital… and i doubt the city would approve all those unwashed masses migrate twice a day through charterhall…

    I was considering having one of the gangs actually bomb it early on so i could move from one version of the map to an other… (Grinders?)

    Btw, not sure i get what was so tasty about that “actually”, missing the native speaker flavor i guess 😉

  3. Clearly there’s a ghost echo of a bridge between Charhollow and Coalridge, bombed by the Imperium military years back when a whole mess of Hollows came surging out of the factories on a spree of terror.

    No one in their right mind would use a ghost key to cross that echo-bridge while being chased down with nowhere to hide, surely.

  4. It regularly falls down and is rebuilt.

    It is the ghost of a bridge. How does a bridge have a ghost? Ectoplasmic Science professors are still trying to answer that question.

    It is a string of boats where you can purchase illegal drugs once a week.

  5. There’s a bridge, named “Hollowbridge”, which blinks in and out of existence: some say that some ritual went wrong, other say thinks it’s the Foundation’s fault for using an experimental electroplasmic process to cut the stones faster and cheaper. In the criminal world, there are people who think that a famous shadow crew swore to stole the bridge to prove themselves to the Unseen, but nobody can remember their names.

  7. So a couple people died making that bridge, their bodies entombed in concrete so they couldn’t be cremated. The bridge is haunted: it’s usable, but the ghosts get angry, for unknown reasons, if you talk about it. Or put it on maps.

    (That one mapmaker didn’t believe the stories, tragically.)

  10. It’s a drawbridge, obviously. They raise it up at night so that nobody tries to cross it, sees the beautiful lady in the water and jumps in to join her. Her smile is too inviting and has too many teeth.

  11. “No debris? Cobblestones a bit too regular? That’s a bridge mimic, my friend. Military will hunt it down if it eats anyone important, which is why it sticks to the waterways around Charhollow, I think.”

  14. There’s no bridges, the emperor see no reason to invest in that, there are boats who makes the travel. The akorosian gondoliers collect a fee for that and assure day to day travels to skovlan workers. Which they pay with their pay. One of the gondoliers’s hunting ground is to pay fee to administration to slow bridges maintenance. Only between coalridge and charhollow could they avoid the reconstruction.

  15. Eureka Be Hi Eureka, for non-English speakers like us, “actually” is a trap, it means “really”, not “now” (like “actuellement” in French).

  16. A B Ahh! then I actually ( 😉 ) meant for both meanings. is th bridge really there? is it Now considered as cannon or not in the city mapping 😉

    Thanks John!

  21. There’s a bridge. Just not for your chappies… one needs an air of respectability that your crew is sorely lacking. It serves as a promenade for the socially successful and is heavily guarded. The crevices and high stone arches make for many corners and tight spaces that are garlanded with dying flowers to hide assignations. A good place to find blackmail, make a public meet. Just have to get past the heavy law presence and all those damned bodyguards… Not to mention there’s a suicide by hanging every Eve’s Tide. Most of the folks found swinging are the kind usually prohibited from traveling the bridge. With all of the arc-lights and torches, its hard to imagine how someone could have evaded all of the prying eyes to hang themselves but its not like it is anyone important…
