Brackenbridge

A mist-shrouded expanse anchored by the remains of an ancient stone bridge, Brackenbridge is a rugged Quarter defined by isolation and resilience. Its residents, known as Bridgers, live on the margins, scraping by as farmers, scavengers, and opportunistic traders. The land’s tainted soil yields little, and the ruins cast an eerie presence, inspiring tales of ghostly songs and lost travelers. Though technically a part of Awarth, Brackenbridge is a place apart, fiercely independent and resistant to outside interference.

Demographics

The population is a mix of scavengers, former Greers, and spiritual wanderers who value autonomy above all else.

Infrastructure

The Quarter is marked by rugged terrain and unstable marshlands, with little in the way of formal roads or modern development. Wooden trestles and rope bridges crisscross over treacherous waters, while scavenged materials form the skeletons of makeshift homes and workshops. Brackenbridge also hosts a network of underground shelters and hidden grottos used for both survival and secret gatherings.
