what are the dims and wieghts for Lightning stones that the rail system uses?

with the war being over has any one thought of repairing and reconnecting the rail lines?

Certainly. The problem is that the current political status makes rebuilding the White Arch Bridge an almost impossible feat and as for the Vathirond-Karrlakton line they'd have to rebuild on Mournland soil...enough said. House Orien have their work cut out for them and they were already greatly weakened during the Last War.

Heck, the Lord of Blades might even allow it to happen, possibly even sending an army of Warforged to ensure that it is built. All the better to hijack it later.
