Belintar used his great magic and his command of the elements to construct a network of magical roads, commonly called the Fish Roads. These roads connected Nochet, the Syphon River, Seapolis, Deeper, and The Deep. Where the roads operated, underwater beings could travel onto the land and air-breathers could travel underwater as long as the travelers remained on the Fish Roads. When the God-King ruled it was not unusual to see a merman swimming through the air, as if it was water, alongside wagons creaking to market. Likewise, parties of humans were sometimes seen walking along the bottom of the bay as if it was dry land while creatures swam back and forth around them. The center of the Fish Roads was beneath the City of Wonders in the Wonder Transfer, where the road passed from beneath the waters to above. Wonder Transfer is a city of humans and merfolk. Like all of the City of Wonders it is now largely abandoned. Few dare take the Fish Roads now, although the roads are presumably still operational.
If you look carefully, the bridges do not always go to the political center of the Fifth. Frex, in Esrolia, the bridge goes to Pedastal and not Nochet or Ezel. Belintar found it necessary to perform part of his great ritual outside of the Machine Ruins, which no doubt says something about how he binds together the Holy Country – and about God Forgot itself.
