Leading up to the massive gates of Sanctuary is a majestic bridge spanning from southern Faethaven across the river. This bridge is known as Sanctuary Bridge and was built to guard Sanctuary against attacks from even the city itself.
The bridge has stood since the beginning of Faethaven and represents the resilience the commanders of Sanctuary pride themselves upon. Sanctuary Bridge is wide enough to accommodate hundreds of people to cross at the same time in case of an emergency where the people of Faethaven must retreat to within the heavily protected walls of Sanctuary. The bridge is low lying and is decorated with specially laid stones to create a massive mural depicting many different creatures in an artistic manner.
At the center of the bridge on either side are two small towers. They are Sanctuary's first line of defense and are heavily enchanted to withstand a full scale attack from within the city. Archers, gunmen, or mages could hold the bridge indefinately from within. The towers are two stories in height and have no entrance. The only way into the towers is from within Sanctuary, where there are two circles of magic that teleport only a member of Sanctuary to a matching circle in each of the towers, or to attempt to fly through a window along with the enchantments that protect such openings.
