Wintahol (vintɒxol)
Wintahol is an ancient surface gate that stands between the Caverns of Dwarovar and the Desert of Bones. One has to travel uphill then climb to reach the gate from the desert, and even though there have been talks about making some sort of elevator or hatchway down, they have so far not been successful.
Purpose / Function
It's one of the entrances into the Caverns of Dwarovar.
Alterations
It's believed to be the first surface gates constructed, although it's definitely has been rebuilt and strengthened numerous times since its construction.
Defenses
Apart from having the standard defenses of a surface gate, it also somewhat blends into the sandy mountains, found at the end of a narrow valley, and has a few outposts built into the mountain walls around it.
History
They say the tunnel of Wintahol was where the first Dwarves entered the Caverns of Dwarovar and found safety. The hol has changed hands between many nations thorought the ages, but not much has changed about it.
