What Makes Bridgetown Different?
Pastoral: Upstart humans ply their trades on cobbled streets amid hoary old Trolls and restless, goateed Gruffolk, while huddles of little Coblins scurry underfoot. Metal is rare, stone is crumbling, and fertile soil is one of the most valuable commodities.
Liminal: The Bridge is a narrow band of solid ground straddling the gap between the Infinite Sky above and the murky depths of the Under. It is a dizzying and impossible world, but it is home to you and countless others.
A Bridge To Elsewhere? Every now and then, something especially peculiar happens. The Under spits up something real or things drop out of the Infinite Sky. Rarer still, sometimes those things are people. These strange out-of-towners claim they’re from other places, spreading nonsense tales of other worlds beyond the Bridge.
