The Western Foot of the Erinin Bridge
Just eastward, the Erinin flows under a large stone bridge, its waters rapidly
heading into the south, gently curving around the city of Tear before the
Fingers of the Dragon. While cracked and weathered, the stone bridge appears
quite sturdy, and is wide enough for two wagon teams to pass side-by-side.

A flatbed wagon rocks back and forth on spoked wheels, pulled by a bloodstock stallion.
A Tairen bloodstock stallion stands here, tail swaying with the breeze, pulling a flatbed wagon, being ridden by you.
An arrogant bridgeguard sneers haughtily at you, riding a black stallion.

You are thirsty.

Hanging off a sturdy wooden frame set alongside the Tear Road are several
cages that are roughly the size of a man. They have been erected by the
Illianers to display criminals, either temporarily or permanently. One of
the cages contains a rotting skeleton.

As thirst overcomes you, you lose consciousness, and eventually die.

The waters of a blue-veined marble fountain pour forth here.

I laughed. Best misadventure on the mud I've seen in awhile!

I was executed in that cage. I wonder if they should take them down? That was several months ago.
