Pontem Kykkor
Kykkor Bridge, or Pontem Kykkor to the scholars, is located in the Kykkorin island chain. The triumph of Kykkorin growth after their tribal war with their now satellite state sister town Koena, the Bridge is far from the familiar structure of cities on rivers elsewhere. The Bridge - actually several bridges - links the island archipelago together, and in times of trouble can be demolished in an instant.
Why? Because the Pontem is made of boats.
Wooden vessels, ranging in size from double-hulled canoes to galleys and everything in between, continuously link the shores of every island in the archipelago to the continent in the north and to each other. The system allows cargoes or weights to be placed in each boat, so it will float higher or lower in the water, allowing people to pass, goods to be moved, defenses to be made... and through all this the ships can still move at will. The entire archipelago is a floating marina that can quickly become a trade hub, a defensive wall or a foot bridge.
