Ironarch Bridge is a wide, iron-reinforced span crossing a steady river on the main trade route between Stormhaven and Arland. It is practical but bustling place with wooden arcades, small workshops, and stilted warehouses lined on the sides, creating a lively commercial corridor. Tollhouses guard each end, while a midspan plaza and watch-platform allow merchants and guards to monitor traffic.
The bridge hosts a mix of commerce and intrigue. Merchants sell wares from covered stalls; smiths, wheelwrights, and rope-makers maintain wagons and equipment; and bonded warehouses store goods pending inspection. Maintenance alcoves and narrow side passages provide hiding spots for contraband or clandestine meetings.
