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

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

The trail leading eastward from the ferry crossing is the eastern portion of the trail between the adventuring lands to the west and Khazar's Hold. (This is part of the route between the West and lands east of Khazar's Hold, including Zul Logoth and the Elven Nations). Transport within the areas between the ferry crossing and Khazar's Hold will not take the adventurer to any major town.

The trail leading westward from the ferry crossing is part of the realm surrounding Wehnimer's Landing. (Transportation to and from the Landing is possible from anywhere except on the actual dock itself.)


Historical Note

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