Basilisk Gate

Piercing the city's eastern wall, this statue-lined gate connects the Lower City to the great Coast Way, stretching through the majority of the Outer City and then southeast toward Amn, Tethyr, and Calimshan.
The many statues inset in the walls and looming from the battlements above earned the gateway its moniker. After an effigy of the first Duke Silvershield was installed near the gate following his death, it became popular among the patriars to place statues of family members at the gate or to fund carvings of heroic historical figures. The display became cluttered, though, and fashion turned against the custom decades ago.
