Albrecht Albrechtson is a pretender to the [[Low Throne]] and the [[Scone of Stone]] (two [[Roundworld]] parodies: the ''High Throne'' of many fantasies, notably those at Cair Paravel in the ''Narnia'' series; and the Stone of Scone, the Pictish seat of kings in 12th century Scotland) deep under Überwald.

He is a [[Deep-Downers|Deep-Downer]] and hates the thought of the Overworld for he fears its taint, and the reality that it is dragging Dwarfs away from their traditions. He is a known expert on the Scone of Stone and is privileged to many of the secrets of higher dwarf society. Despite his views, he abides the law and accepts Rhys as the King.

Wood Bridge

92.24.23.21:

The '''Wood Bridge''' is a small and probably little-used span over the [[Ankh (river)|Ankh]] from the [[Unreal Estate]]. Most people avoid the whole area. It is the most hubward bridge in the city, not counting the [[Water Gate]], which spans the river, but isn't a thoroughfare.

All bridges over the Ankh (Rimwards to Hubwards)
* [[Ankh Bridge]]
* [[Misbegot Bridge]]
* [[Pon's Bridge]]
* [[Contract Bridge (landmark)|Contract Bridge]]
* [[Brass Bridge]]
* [[New Bridge]]
* [[Maudlin Bridge]]
* [[Bridge of Size]]
* [[Water Bridge]]

New Bridge

92.24.23.21:

'''New Bridge''' connects the [[Isle of Gods]] to downtown [[Morpork]] at [[Holofernes Street]], a likely route from the University to The Dysk or the Opera House. Naming traditions in Ankh-Morpork would suggest that it is one of the oldest bridges in the city, but this cannot be confirmed.

* [[Ankh Bridge]]
* [[Misbegot Bridge]]
* [[Pon's Bridge]]
* [[Contract Bridge (landmark)|Contract Bridge]]
* [[Brass Bridge]]
* [[New Bridge]]
* [[Maudlin Bridge]]

* [[Water Bridge]]

Pon's Bridge

2010-01-18T16:37:24Z

92.24.23.21:

One of the bridges over the [[River Ankh]] in [[Ankh-Morpork]], '''Pon's Bridge''' connects the [[Isle of Gods]] to downtown [[Morpork]] at [[Sheer Street]]. It would be the route from the [[Opera House]] to after-hours entertainment around the [[Whore Pits]].

It's likely a bridge has stood there since the old Empire, ''pons'' being [[Latatian]] for "bridge."

Ankh Bridge

92.24.23.21:

The unimaginatively named '''Ankh Bridge''' is the most rimward of [[Ankh-Morpork]]'s bridges. It connects [[Mollymog Street]], [[Ankh (city)|Ankh]] to the [[Morpork]] docks near [[Monkey Street]].
Perhaps coincidentally, it's a direct route from the Smugglers' Guild to The Gibbet.

* [[Contract Bridge (landmark)|Contract Bridge]]
