Just hasn't been updated yet. We've decided the second smaller one houses a reclusive wizard (could be another interesting project, but it's got some ruins on it which might be better for a freehand drawing).The northern bridge to the island is provisionally called Oldbridge, and would be the oldest bridge in Mor's End. The first bridge TGD posted would be a good example: sturdy dwarven workmanship, too low to pass anything but a rowboat underneath, not a very long span.The southern bridge from the island is Highbridge: high enough to pass a river sailing ship underneath. Probably not nearly as high and imposing as the last bridge I posted on the thread, but that one has the right feel to it. Also quite old, so I was aiming for a romanesque look: big dwarven stone roman arcs. I suggested the bridge might start on a rocky outcropping on the mainland, to gain a little height. (There must have been a river crossing there before the bridge though, so don't make the river banks too hard to cross...)Both bridges are probably integrated with the Citadel on the center island. That's where the toll gate for the trade caravans used to be. The ornate gate is still there, but a whole castle has sprung up around it since then. Note that the island is relatively narrow, so there can't be too much of a drop in height between Highbridge and Oldbridge.The easternmost bridge is Newbridge, a marvel of modern dwarven cast iron engineering. It spans the entire river (although not necessarily in a single span), and is high enough to pass a river sailing ship underneath as well.  About as long as Oldbridge and Highbridge combined. All three bridges sould be wide enough for two wagons to pass simultaneously (major river crossings for the trade caravans).I'll have to check for the exact dimensions of the spans though...Thanks for giving us a hand with these, Knid! Yo da man! We can use aaaaalll the help we can get... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
