[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5929267, member: 9255"] JOHN PLAY “PLAY FOR THE MONEY” SEGMENT 34 “SCION SOUND” Vult 7 996, LATE MORNING “I heard the bridge was reopening soon.” “Yes. Next month I believe.” Replies the dwarf as he looks outside of the railcar. The waters of Scion Sound are visible from his side. “You look nervous.” Says the dwarf out of curiosity. He has noted that John Play is looking outside, across the water, with great intensity. “I have made a few friends in Karrnath.” “This is good.” Looking to the dwarf abruptly- “and I have made even more enemies in Karrnath.” The dwarf nods his head barely. “Then I suggest you go your cabin and stay put.” Play hates it when the dwarf is correct. He nods and gives a salute before leaving. The rail slows down as it nears the final station before the closed bridge leading to Karrnath. A section of the bridge was destroyed during the war to prevent enemy factions from crossing it. It has taken House Orien years and a lot of money and favors to repair the bridge quickly. After a short stay at the station, the rail moves on, even though the repairs are not complete. The bridge is a modern art and masterpiece of technology. Twenty-five miles long, it has multiple levels. A rail level, a pedestrian level and two levels for carts and horses. There are station houses located in several spots on the bridge. There are, or soon will be again, hotels and places to eat owned by House Ghallanda. There are several docking areas at water level owned by House Orien and one air ship landing (so far) being built by House Lyrandar. House Cannith has much invested in the bridge as many of the magics involved for speedier and safer construction was their doing. House Kundarak also has some say as they are in charge of wards which they have set up to protect the bridge. House Denieth is using an area of the bridge as a way station for their work at Thronehold. Many suggest no nation owns the bridge, only the Dragon Houses. This is more true than fiction. From the water, several work boats and fishing boats are anchored in view of the bridge and its construction. One fishing boat, flying Karrnathi colors, stops and watches the rail as it goes over the bridge unexpectedly. The captain, Captain Grugar Direscan, pulls out a spyscope and watches. He is looking for colors or indication of the ownership and purpose of the ship. “Chakins- get me a messenger- I have to report this.” Several other similar ships and their crew do the same. Welcome to the cold war of Khorvaire. The ship nears the land and begins to slow down once more. The Karrnathi guards are surprised as the ship arrives. Even as it arrives so do several members of House Orien to redirect the attention of their active ship. Even before the ship power downs, they are waved on and they leave the station. Play sighs in relief. Of all the spots he feared his past would catch up with him it was here- in Rekkenmark, Karrnath. As the ship clears the check point a Bone Knight rides up wanting answers.
