Several centuries ago if one was to travel to Ornsiire from Waterhelm they would be required to pass at the foot of the northernmost mountain in the Axel Mountain Range. Now one can save well over forty miles by cutting between the Tvilling Peaks, and crossing the Great Dal Bridge. Though more of the twenty foot wide, walled and stone laid pathway is a glorified road slicing its own ravine through the Tvilling valley its most impressive sight awaits at its western end. The sturdy road turns into a bridge of colossal proportions which spans the entirety of the Ornsiire valley where the city resides, coming to rest on the largest of the many hillocks opposite the foot of the southern Tvilling. The bridge’s supports are immense stone pillars rising from deep anchors in the Ornsiire soil below, and its frame casts a great shadow across the city when Lev’el is at its apex.
It first began construction in the later years of The Meyda War intended first as method of sending troops mustered in the capital across the Axel Mountains with ease in the hopes of catching the Helvan armies off guard. Fortunately for the Kingdom of Helva the End of the Meyda War came before it could be completed, and it is now a beacon of engineering, trade and progress. Its architects devised entire new ways of construction in order to complete it efficiently, avoiding costly and potentially volatile Meyda-work they created man-powered cranes, counterweight lift systems, and improved on old scaffolding models to great increase in productivity.
If one seeks to descend into Ornsiire from Great Dal Bridge twenty eight counterweight lifts can be used to descend the two to one thousand foot vertical drop from the bridge’s walkway to the streets at the bottom of the valley. The once man-powered resetting of the counterweights has now been replaced with reliable and efficient Meyda-circles which consume less Chips than even cheap labor.
