"I doubt we have the resources to build bridges of that size, even if we were given the time." That kind of distance... they'd need deep foundations, they'd need to be able to stand against the curiosity of whatever creatures lurked in the deep water below, and they'd need to be able to stand against tides and potential storms. It would be a logistical nightmare.

But Curufin is right. Such a thing would be next to pointless busywork if they are to be moved again. "Perhaps we'd be better spending our time building a few piers," he suggests. Somewhere more secure to board and disembark the boats that will no doubt become a staple, and somewhere safe to moor them.

At the mention of Maglor, he briefly hesitates, but nods. "I have. We had a small disagreement over his handling of the demon, but I saw no point in trying to debate it further."

They would never agree over Maglor's approach to that particular situation.
