Revision 7

Overview

Bridge Crossing is one of four known districts in Hethereau and the first area players explore in Neverness to Everness. As the name suggests, the district sits in the Bridge District area of the city, serving as a gateway that connects different parts of the metropolis. It has been available since the first closed beta test (CBT1) and remains the starting point for new players.

The Eibon Antique Shop

Bridge Crossing is home to the Eibon Antique Shop, which serves as the player's primary base of operations throughout the game. The shop is run by the Coluccis family, the most renowned family in the Bridge District. What appears to be a simple antique shop is actually a front for an anomaly hunter crew that takes on commissions from the public to investigate and resolve supernatural disturbances.

The Coluccis Family

The Coluccis are the most prominent family in Bridge Crossing. They are led by Nanally Coluccus, the head of the family (known as the Ichi-daime, or first generation head). Under Nanally's leadership, the Coluccis operate the Eibon Antique Shop and its anomaly hunting operations. The family has developed its own secret combat methods, including the Colucci Secret Skill, the Colucci Howling Technique, and the Colucci Ultimate Technique.

District Character

Bridge Crossing contains a mix of residential and commercial areas. The district has a grounded, neighborhood feel compared to some of the more specialized areas of Hethereau. Streets are lined with shops, apartments, and local businesses. As the player's home district, Bridge Crossing serves as a recurring location throughout the story, with many main quests and side activities beginning or ending at the Eibon Antique Shop.

The district's position as a gateway connecting different parts of Hethereau makes it a natural hub for travel and exploration. Players frequently pass through Bridge Crossing when moving between the city's other districts.

Gameplay Significance

As the starting area, Bridge Crossing is where players first learn the game's core mechanics. Early tutorial missions, the introduction to the anomaly investigation system, and the player's recruitment into the Eibon crew all take place here. The district continues to be relevant throughout the game as the home base, with story events, character interactions, and side quests regularly returning the player to Bridge Crossing.
