Aebelmora / Ettergard Bridge

Bridge to the Beyond, Rooted in Purpose

“Let the river rise — we will rise higher still.”

A bridge arches high above the curling meanders south of the great river, a bridge carved not from cold stone, but from the living heartwood of The Wonder’s national forests. Rising gracefully between Aebleguard and Ettomora, it stretches like a ribbon of purpose and promise, a symbol of connection in both commerce and discovery. Every beam gleams with the grain of ancient timber, oiled and polished to a sheen that glows faintly beneath the morning mist.

Engineered to defy the wrath of the river’s floods, the bridge begins its rise far from the banks. A gradual ascent of wide wooden steps leads travelers above the historical flood lines, ensuring safe passage even in the wettest seasons. Latticed supports, reinforced with cleverly interwoven branches and flexible rootwork, sway gently with the wind — not brittle, but breathing, alive. Ornamental planters spill with herbs and blossoms native to both regions, giving the bridge a scent of living purpose.

Beneath its arches, barges drift lazily by, while above, merchants, scholars, and explorers cross with eyes wide — some in search of new trade, others dreaming of mapping the unknown wilds beyond. There is talk of settlement, of new roots being planted along the far side of the bridge. For now, The bridge stands not only as a practical crossing, but as a quiet declaration: the future of The Wonder will be built one step at a time — across wood, through wilds, and always toward the unexplored.
