Locksmehr River Ferry

The Locksmehr River Ferry was a toll ferry which ran back and forth across the Locksmehr River approximately once every 12-14 minutes. A toll of 10 silvers was collected by a blind ferryman prior to boarding in each direction. (The toll could only be paid when the ferryboat and ferryman were present at the dock.)

For those waiting, the movement of the ferry was visible from either dock. The ferry crossing itself required about 5 minutes; the ferry then stopped at each dock for about 2 minutes.

The trail leading eastward from the ferry crossing was the eastern portion of the trail between the adventuring lands to the west (Wehnimer's Landing, Icemule Trace, and Solhaven, etc.) and the settlement at Khazar's Hold. (This was part of the route between the West and lands east of Khazar's Hold, including Zul Logoth and the Elven Nations).

Magical transport within the areas between the ferry crossing and Khazar's Hold would not take the adventurer to any major town. The trail leading westward from the ferry crossing was part of the realm surrounding Wehnimer's Landing. (Transportation to and from the Landing was possible from anywhere except on the actual dock itself.)

Historical Note

When the Elven Nations were initially added to GemStone, the Locksmehr River Ferry was the first significant "new" location on the route. Locations to the west of the ferry crossing were previously accessible to adventurers, while everything to the east was new territory.
