Mercer's Crossing

Mercer's Crossing is one of the five bridges crossing the Great Fjord, and is the second closest to the western coast. It is reputable for the reputations of its Bridgeguard. It is the fourth largest of the five bridges and the bridge that is the most in shambles.

The Bridge
Mercer's Crossing is smaller than all of the other bridges except Floode. It is a grim, rundown and sinister looking place, poorly lit and overgrown with spurts of moss and weeds every here and there between cobblestones.

The Bridgeguard
The Bridgeguard of Mercer's Crossing is infamous in the High Continent for being comprised of thieves, cutthroats, outlaws and vagabonds. It is for this reason that Mercer's Crossing is in such a poor state, as well as the reason why no one uses Mercer's Crossing if they do not have to. Many who go along the bridge can sometimes lose more than their coinpurses with the minds of some of the men who mind the bridge. Mercer's Crossing was named after its founder, Joric Mercer and has been ruled over ever since by House Mercer, who has descended into being just as low and dishonest as the thieves and cutthroats sent to them. Their current Lord-Bridgemaster is Waltyr Mercer, also known as 'The Vulture Of Mercer's Crossing', or simply as 'The Vulture'.
