Extract from a recent Grenton Bridge Field Report:
We arrived at the site ready to complete a full evaluation of the shield. Out of sight in a small copse of trees we set about pummeling the shield with every type of magic we could think of. Fire, Spirit, Sonic discharge, lightning; none of it got through. As soon as a force hit the shield it glowed red highlighting the direction of attack. Within minutes our postion was bombarded with a hail of arrows. We had two squadmembers shielding so nobody was hurt but we had to retreat before the tests were complete. If something can penetrate the shield we haven't found it yet. |

Exerpt from : A Bridge Apart by Rende T'yulic
Grenton Bridge truly is a bridge apart. Every stone of the bridge and the connecting keep is imbued with protective magics that some of the best minds have contributed to. This creates a barrier to all magics around the structure preventing assault by the arcane. Be warned though. The shield offers no physical protection. Man and Beast may pass through it without even noticing it. As can anything that isn't magical in nature. That is why the keep was added almost immediately after the bridge was complete. It can comfortably accomodate over 500 soldiers along with training rooms, a clean water source and storage cellars for many years food. Truly it is a mighty keep in it's own right. |

Exerpt from a diary written by someone trying to survive an attacking force over 1000 years ago. Much has been lost through age.
"We're holding them off. Our line of pike soldiers at the boundary is doing well, and our archers pepper their shields with arrows..." "...No, they are through the boundary. How did they do it? Their magic rips through us like wheat before the scythe..." "They hunt us through the keep now. Oh Gods I hope they don't find me...Nooooooooooo..." |
