Revision as of 16:07, 7 September 2013
Proposed by Madruga, seconded by Feroz.
Overview
- The Spider's Dream bridge that links Sarvos and Madruga is in a poor state of repair.
- Passed at 15 Thrones with 3 votes against, money distributed to Madruga.
Date
- Passed Spring 377YE (Event Two 2013).
Cost
- 20 wains of weirwood.
Progress
- None
Production
- If the bridge is restored to full operation, the Spider's Tollkeep sinecure would be reinstated.
Restoring the bridge would allow for the reinstatement of the Spider's Tollkeep sinecure. This sinecure would provide a portion of the money raised in tolls, and would be decided by unanimous decision of the Senators of the Brass Coast and the League. The holder of the sinecure would receive 2 Thrones every season. The sinecure lapsed entirely during the reign of Emperor Walter as the poor condition of the bridge has made it impossible to provide any money to the holder.
Campaign Outcome
- If the bridge collapses, the civil service estimates that all businesses in Madruga and Sarvos will lose a crown from their income.
- The civil service estimates it will cost 120 wains of weirwood to replace the bridge entirely should it collapse.
It is impossible to predict how close to collapse the nridge is; the complexity of it's construction makes estimation a matter of pure guesswork. Reputable engineers cautiously predict it is quite close to the point of no return beyond which repairs would be less effective than knocking it down and starting again.
