The Mazandabad Bridge spans the Foronir River where looking east are the crags and tunnels into Typhalumus, and west Laucentar's ancient, and much desired timber. South of the bridge is the Sorrow Pass, long a path of trade and war. The area's current bridge, the Mazandabad, is the third rebuild of a bridge spanning the safest crossing of a mighty and unpredictable river.

The First Bridge - Iron Vale Crossing

The first bridge was built by the Covenant of the Demon Spawn War (89 GE - 269 GE). Light of build, they set the anchors that would serve as the foundation of all future bridges. Built from heavenly stuff, it made the base of the bridge unbreakable by force or magic.

When Sorrow Pass was taken by Demogorgon, the navy of Thjorygg was split. The southern ships harried the demon advance along the Foronir, while the northern ships defended Iron Vale Crossing. With the demons near to seizing the bridge, the last of Thjorygg's northern river fleet were used as mines, bringing down the bridge.

The Second Bridge - Demogorgons Toe

Contested, pitched battles followed between the Covenant and Demogorgon. Rafts, ropes, and the beginnings of a bridge were slowly brought across. After the Demon Spawn War, with no civilization in the area to maintain a cruel looking span named Demogorgons Toe, it deteriorated away under seasonal melts.

The Third Bridge - Mazandabad

In the Second Epoch, the Orchish Empire, rebuilt the bridge. It was a path to harvesting Laucentar's steely pines and reducing the cost of trade moving across a dangerous river. To acquiesce their neighbors fears of it being used to attack them, the nearby city of Naram-Gunal was given naming rights and other privileges.
