	'''Opiter's Folly''' {{Pronunciation\|OH-pih-ter}} is an immense stone bridge near the [[Tela River]] within the [[Eastern Chaskan city-states]]. Now crumbling and in disuse, this bridge was built in the early years of the tenth millennium by the order of [[Opiter Iallius]], scion of the [[House Iallius\|Iallius]] [[Viridian senate\|senatorial family]] of [[Limyra]]. He intended to use the bridge to drive caravans traveling west along the [[Golden Path]] to [[Yurza]] rather than Aradet, and in doing so enrich himself both through levying tolls on its use and through taxes upon the arrival of merchants at Yurza, acquired through monopolizing a local [[trade coalition]].

	Unfortunately for Opiter, soon after the completion of the bridge an unusually strong storm, and a subsequent flood, shifted the course of the Tela River, leaving the bridge spanning nothing but now-dry land. With his family's fortunes sunk into the project and little to show for it, Opiter Iallius returned to [[Viridia]], leaving the decaying structure behind. Today passing travelers sometimes rest under it, its shade a welcome respite from the hot [[Chaska Sea\|Chaskan]] sun.
