Cave-Latin Friendship bridge

The Cave-Latin Friendship bridge, or more commonly known as just "The bridge", is a structure connecting the Latin base to the Cave faction, and the Spawn region of the SMP. It was built by Tomas_beluga, of the Latin faction.

Construction of the bridge started on the 6th of February, 2021, and lasted roughly two days. The bridge was originally built for a variety of reasons, like connecting the Latin base to the mainland Spawn, as the base was built on an island on the swamp. The bridge is now the main route for everyone travelling from the Spawn region to the Latin base, or vice-versa.

But the main reason the bridge was built was to improve relations with the Cave Faction. The bridge leads directly from the Cave Faction's mountain base to the Latin base, and it is also meant to be a trading spot for the two factions. The reason the bridge is so important is because Bem left the Cave faction in order to join the Latin faction on the 5th of February, and it was uncertain if the two factions were going to hold good relations, and because their two bases were so close to eachother, it was suspected that conflict might arise.

Fortunately, relations remained good even after Bem's departure from the Cave faction. And to solidify that relationship, the bridge was made to connect the two alliances. The Cave faction went on to eventually dissolve, but it was still used to access the former faction's base. But overtime, the bridge has also grown to much more than that, because little after the bridge's official inauguration, Bem built a trading post near the end of the bridge, where resources like Slime balls, obsidian, enchantments and others are to be traded for diamonds, the server's unofficial currency.

The bridge itself is composed entirely by Oak slabs, Oak stairs, Oak logs, Cobblestone blocks, Cobblestone stairs, Cobblestone walls and Stone brick slabs. Because of the extensive materials and sheer size of the bridge, it took roughly two days to gather materials and build the bridge. The structure itself is composed by a road of Oak slabs, Cobblestone blocks and Brick stone slabs, with Cobblestones arches below and Wooden arches above.
