Wuyun Gate

The southernmost boundary of the Dwendalian Empire, the Wuyun Gate rests within the Wuyun Gorge where the Ashkeeper Peaks meet the Cyrios Mountains. This imposing gate stands roughly twenty feet tall and fifteen feet wide, opening when passage is given to travelers seeking to enter or exit the Empire. A wall of stone twenty-five feet tall continues from each side of the gate, stretching to meet the nearby mountains. These walls are topped by patrolling Crownsguard whose weapons are always at the ready. Originally built as a military fortification to prevent the Clovis Concord from assaulting the empire, it now acts as a waypoint on the trade route, and occasionally as a Righteous Brand outpost when dangerous creatures begin to wander too far from the nearby mountain ranges.

Architecture

The Wuyun Gates are 50-feet high with walls of ten feet to 15 feet wide at its base. The central gates are not made from stone, but they are two large, iron reinforced wooden doors that stand 20 feet tall and are opened and closed by chained-based winches that rotate and open and close from each side of the interior of the wall. There is enough room for three carts to make it through the gates, but they are keeping it to a two-lane scenario to create a pincer point.

Defenses

On the northeastern side of the gate is an encampment with some tents that are used by the Righteous Brand.
