Fromkin's Pass Building / Landmark in MyAirdhe | World Anvil

Fromkin's Pass

Here, the Hruesen River bends slightly away from the base of the ridge and spreads out in rocky shallows. A large stone bridge arches over the entire length of the Hruesen River, and was so solidly built in ages past that it has withstood the ravages of man, nature and time.
Fromkin’s Pass is the location of the only remaining bridge that crosses the Hruesen River to the escarpment above the Blacktooth Ridge. It is a blocky utilitarian bridge, broad enough for two wagons to pass abreast. Along both sides are low stone rails. The stone is worn smooth from uncountable thousands of footsteps and wagon wheel groves, from years of wear, scar the center of the bridge. Statues once adorned each corner of the bridge. All but one have long since been destroyed. At the east end of the bridge is a broken and cracked statue of a large predatory bird perched atop a helmet. The giant beak and malicious eyes are stretched to the heavens, as if looking for direction.
The bridge connects with a timeworn, paved path on the ridge line side. This is Fromkin’s Pass. The path is broad and wide and created in such a manner as to allow wagon traffic, and so angles up the ridge in several switchbacks. At each turn in the path is a small, stone, one roomed building which once housed soldiers of the Horned One. As the path nears the summit of the ridge, the top of a large crumbling tower can be seen-Fromkin’s Aerie as it is locally known.
