The Faring Bridge
A failing Hollowmere bridge that collapsed in Book 7, rebuilt higher as a symbol of resilience.
The Faring Bridge was once a precarious structure spanning the waters of Hollowmere, serving as home to three households known collectively as the Faring folk. For several seasons, the bridge struggled against its own decay, standing on the brink of failure while the families clung to their elevated dwelling above the river.
Its tenure ended abruptly during the spring flood of Book 7, when the structure finally gave way and collapsed into the rushing waters below. However, this destruction marked a turning point for the town; the bridge was soon reconstructed higher and stronger than before, transforming from a failing hazard into a lasting symbol of Hollowmere's resilience.

Lore & Background
The history of the Faring Bridge is defined by its precarious existence as a home for three distinct households. Before its eventual demise, it stood for seasons in a state of decline, testing the endurance of those who lived upon it until nature finally claimed it.
Following the catastrophic collapse during the spring flood of Book 7, the community did not abandon the site. Instead, they rebuilt the bridge with greater height and structural integrity, ensuring that the memory of the failure would be overshadowed by a new testament to their ability to endure and rise again.
