I don't think we ever suggested serious caravan trade trafic coming out of Southgate. It's mainly a gate to give access to the rest of the big island. Caravans heading SW would either board a ship in Mor's End, or go out Tradegate and cross the swamp. They don't even set foot on the Big Island.Ther is a ferry crossing the river from the Big Island, but it's inside the walls, from Port Jollita to the part of the city South of the river. A ferry further towards the mouth of the river would be longer, more dangerous, and serve much less of a function.The only maps I've been able to find that showed a ferry crossing the the river outside of the city walls are the old hexmaps. On those, the swamp was MUCH smaller than what we've decided on now, so the ferry could easily bypass the swamp altogether. With the much larger swamp, I don't really see a need for the second ferry that would land you right at the mouth of the swamp...Another point of clarification: did you intend Enoria Keep to be on the Big Island?
