Boareskr Bridge
Boareskr Bridge
Boareskr Bridge carries the Trade Way over the Winding Water, four days' ride north of Nuts Deep. It is the last place Varram the White was seen, and the company's next destination.
What the company knows
- The crossing. A bridge-keeper named Ostrand takes a copper a head to cross, two after dark. On the north bank sits a trading camp that has never had a lord and does not want one; on the south bank, a caravanserai.
- The shrines. Cyric killed Bhaal on this bridge in the Time of Troubles, in 1358 DR, and the river ran black below it for years afterwards. The old fort's moat is poison still. There are shrines to both gods on the bridge, and people leave offerings at both.
- Tamal Thent. In 1450 DR High Overseer Tamal Thent of Elturel vanished at the south-bank caravanserai with her entire caravan. Elturel's riders found no bodies and no wreckage, and nobody who would say they had seen anything. Elturel raised Thavius Kreeg to the seat in her place (see The Rise of the Companion). The Harpers' Archives would like to know whether the caravanserai's aged keeper still holds the 1450 guest ledger.
- Varram. The Council of Waterdeep's best information placed the Wyrmspeaker here (Session 43); the Harpers' road-desk in Berdusk has since sent a newer sighting — the last tenday of Uktar 1488, a dwarf woman in white robes with a silent escort of six, lodged at the south-bank caravanserai and paying well to be left alone. It is fourth-hand, by way of the mule-drover Pell Marrowick and the bridge-keeper, and says nothing of why she was there or whether she remains (see Harper Dispatch: Boareskr Bridge).
The march
After the week of downtime that followed the Battle of Nuts Deep, Deez Nuts march north for the bridge on the trail of Varram (Find Varram the White). Talonfall's tracker Hessa Duncroft has been posted on the eastern road ahead of them.
