What is left of an old bridge across a gorge: a short solid pier, and two long wooden spans that reach out over the drop. A new place since 14 Nov 2026; its name is a draft, waiting for the owner.
The layout
=========== =========== the two spans
################## the pier (the floor)
# is the solid floor, = a thin platform (you can jump up through it and drop down through it).
What it changes in a fight
- The only solid ground is small. The spans more than double the room, but there is nothing under their outer halves.
- Dropping through a span (down) is safe over the pier and a fall into the gorge further out.
- A fighter knocked off the pier can come back up through a span from below, so getting back is easier here than on the small floor of Lake at dusk.
- Standing on a span tip is a risk: one hit and you are over the drop.
- The middle of the stage has no platform above it: open sky over the pier.
The look
Two rock walls close the picture in. The sun sits on the rim of the left wall; the right wall catches its light. A river lies far below, and in the distance stand the arches of the old bridge, broken in the middle.
