| The [[wp>head of navigation]] on the Zun River is where [[atlas:Yoluthis]] built a series of [[wp>wing dams]] and flood barriers to control the flow of the river. This slowed down the river enough that larger boats could reach it safely, even during flooding season. The Dakarian city of [[atlas:Passau]] is considered the last stop north where the largest barges can safely navigate. | The [[wp>head of navigation]] on the Zun River is where [[atlas:Yoluthis]] built a series of [[wp>wing dams]] and flood barriers to control the flow of the river.

The lords that control the bridges across the river jealously guard their rights; accidents or bandits have been known to destroy new bridges. |
| There are no bridges or permanent crossings along the length of the [[#Lower Zun]] as the river is too wide to support such structures. Most towns, cities, and a few villages along the banks provide ferries as the slower flow allows for crossings. | There are no bridges or permanent crossings along the length of the [[#Lower Zun]] as the river is too wide to support such structures.
