Karth Bridge

A lonely watch-tower and timber ford where the north road crosses the Karth — House Vandahl's last post before the tribes' country.

Past Karth Bridge the road forgets House Vandahl's banners and remembers the tribes. The sergeant who holds it has not been relieved in two seasons and has stopped expecting to be. The Karth runs fast and cold beneath, fed from the snows of the Rampart.
