Aerial Tramway -via Neve Town

Pentaguro · 2015-12-27T00:00:00Z

There are two ways to reach the small village at the peak of the highest mountain in Huana: The first option is to follow the pathway, a narrow and very long road, at first leading through the valleys between the enormous mountains, before finally going up the steep side of Iclyn Mountain, right towards the destination. Well, at least the views are a hit. Another option would be to visit the old cable car station located in the coniferous forests of the mountain range’s southern region. At first, it may seem like an abandoned building with multiple broken cable cars scattered around it. To be fair, most of the time this is true. But every three weeks the station keeper from Neve Town, who is responsible for this lower end of the direct transport system to Neve, walks down to see if anybody requires the tramway’s services. Of course, this rarely ever happens (usually two times a year, three if things go particularly well), since operating this ancient and complex system is a lengthy, difficult and expensive process the passenger has to pay for: Unfreezing connective wheels, making security checks, repairing old parts, preparing workers (the tramway, for the most part, operates through a vast network of wheels and ropes, which have to be powered by hand) and so on. If one of these things goes wrong, the wagon won’t move. Whether it is worth paying for this two day ride, as opposed to the two week walk, is up to debate of course, but just imagine the look on a couple of wanderers faces, ones who passed the station long ago, as you swiftly fly over their heads in this technological miracle…
