Summercross

Summercross is a major crossing of the River Spear, located just east of the point where the the place where the Grey Ribbon and Green Ribbon both converge into a single river, and the waters are thus slow enough to cross.
Armies moving north or south of the Spear river system are basically faced with two choices for their route. The first choice is to travel along the lighter headwaters of the three ribbons of the Spear to the west which takes a considerable amount of time. The other option is to march east and use Summercross. The Winter Road itself, extending between Sunderly and Greycrest, crosses the Spear at Summercross. East of the Summercross the combined size of the single river, now fed by both of the main tributaries, makes it too wide and deep to cross. This makes the Summercross of vital strategic importance.
==History==
Summercross was the site of the critical Battle of the Spear during the War of the Bears where the Rebel Army under Prince Kaegan defeated the Royalist Army led by Lord Commander Prince Cayle Boyce to cross the Spear and march onto Newcastle along the Winter Road.
