Ancient Valley
Description
TBA
Environment Log
This bridge just goes on forever... but at least it _is_ a bridge. Between this blizzard and the mountain fog I can't see more than two meters ahead, even with my mounted lights. I know I haven't accidentally turned around because the stampede keeps rumbling in the distance behind me, though I'm starting to wonder if its just the wind against the crumbling cliffsides. There's scorched steel strewn along the road, still smoking. What kind of fire could burn in a place like this? I'll have to clamber down to the exposed access tunnels running underneath the bridge to rest, though I can't tell if the drop below is 10 meters or 10 miles.
