Bend Ferry
Read the rope, then cross
At Node Seven, the Chain's fastest current runs beneath drowning cages and a rope that writes the future. The Throat remains open, subject to the river's corrections.
Codex Ref. II.3.05-007

Codex Ref. XII.16.02-001
Chain Superintendentate
The river flows when the clerk permits
