Engineering Corps Report on "Gap"

Though lost among the greater discussions and gossip relating to various political moves, the Emperor stepping down and adopting the role of Crown Regent, the numbers of people who have discovered that they're Sunkissed, and the size of Duke Lomasa's lance, one tidbit of conversation quietly flows along the military channels and between the officers of the Imperial Watch regarding the "gap" in the northern Aegis.

For those who care to listen, it seems that engineers from the Engineering Corps of the Imperial Watch have finished their initial evaluation regarding what took place, and have concluded that the "gap" is less a hole than a doorway. Indeed, the Engineering Corps have estimated that this "doorway" is roughly only a hundred feet high - a sixth of the actual height of the Aegis - leaving the upper five-hundred feet intact and secure.

The displaced stones were reformed into a corridor through which traffic can be channeled, and the Engineering Corps have since been tasked by the Imperial Office of Census and Excise to draw up plans for a gate to span this "doorway" so that the Imperial Watch can control what traffic goes through and comes in should the Crown Regent give the go ahead for excursions into the dangerous Wildlands beyond.

Meanwhile, Officers of the Imperial Watch guarding the "doorway" have yet to report anything of worth and, aside from a few curious citizens (and the occasional drunkard filled with ale-fueld bravado), have had very few security risks thus far.

There are suggestions that a road will also be built leading to this gate from Wedgecrest should such designs come to pass, although there is no word as to what the road may be named.
