Ten Stone Bridges is a settlement in the Flower Kingdoms along the banks of the Prince of Yearning. The community is built upon and around ancient Eitan ruins, abandoned by the elves millennia ago, the only surviving intact structures of which are the titular ten stone bridges that cross the river along a span of eight miles. Much of the material from the other remains of the elven past has been salvaged to for use in new homes and other buildings, clustered in village-neighborhoods around the bridges.

Only roughly half the population of Ten Stone Bridges permanently lives there, as the rest are part of various nomadic groups that wander the rainforest yet return on occaision. The sedentary population is largely elven while the nomads are primarily human and catfolk.

Though each tribe that lives at Ten Stone Bridges, permanently or otherwise, has its own leadership, they all collectively defer to the elven ishuun Aei Mzar-Nla, whose age surpasses the known histories of many of the city's peoples.
