I'm pretty sure that's the cliff face in the last panel, although that much rubble really ought to have dammed it anyway.

Yeah, but it's a really small dam of a river with steep walls. It's gonna fill up and overflow quickly with minimal affect on the surroundings.

Was all this done for the benefit of the beavers?

I thought the Annan river was supposed to be actually really, really wide, just also really, really deep in the gorge; guess it was more of a big moat all along

It is really really wide. The hole in the side of that cliff has to be enormous. Everything about the Annan waters is huge, which makes conveying it's scale difficult. It makes me appreciate more the times I've seen people get that sense of scale right.

We've seen exactly how big the hole is, though, relative to stuff we know the scale of. It's pretty big, solid A grade hole, but it's not like grand-canyon-filllingly enormous. This reads as, like, the river is actually maybe a tad wider than a six-lane highway.

Look at the first panel of this page. Look at the treeline, especially the brown strip where you can see the trees' trunks. There's your scale. That's a huge-rear end landslide.

The last panel is the one where the scale is iffy. You can see the coasts on either side of the river, and they're supposed to be pretty wide, but the river itself, and its dirsuption, looks like water does at a way smaller scale.

I wonder if Ysengrin is even going to make a serious effort to attack the Court, or if this is all just more baring his fangs? He wants to show the humans how weak they really are - he never said he wants to destroy or rule them, just assert the power of him and his kind. The bridge is a natural target for that - the passage between the Court and the Forest has always controlled by the Court, but now Ysengrin has taken it over and destroyed it. Now anyone wishing to travel between the two will be on the Forest's terms.

But we already know the Court doesn't respond to that sort of posturing. They're more pragmatic; they don't care if anyone respects their power, and they're not interested in acknowledging anyone else's. They've got their own agendas, whatever those might be, and they don't seem to view the conflict between the two sides in the same way, if they view it as a conflict at all. They seem to treat threats from the forest as more like diseases than weapons; their destructive power both mindless and blameless, just a problem to be worked around. Their progenitors might once have seen the Forest as a more direct threat - see the whole Jeanne matter - but the modern Court seems to look at it as just wildlife. I suspect the Court management would look at this development no differently than if a natural landslide destroyed that bridge. And going by Coyote's assertion that etheric beings don't truly, independently exist, they might not be wrong.

They refer to Ysengrin as "General" and sure seemed to respond to Coyote's posturing with that building; it's not clear that they have any kind of organised means of response beyond Eglamore but their relationship with the forest has all the trappings of formal diplomacy between countries. And that sure isn't something the forest imposed; Coyote and Ysengrin blatantly hold all their ceremoniousness in contempt.

At the same time, they have the school principle hold the meetings and use middle schoolers as ambassadors.

They took Coyote's promise not to interfere and their possibly-unknown murderghost protection for granted. Now those things are gone, things gonna get cray-cray.

Yes, he is quite mad.

I read the rest of the chapter as I tend to do and there's that moment with Grin and Annie when he pop's her stone and its weird to think that version of Grin wasn't "real".

Coyote's given his tooth to Annie, his bone to Smitty, his... waters to Parley, and his skin to Ys. He's quite distributed by now.
