Wharfgate

This small gate is reached from the river-front wharves by a long path that snakes its way up the bluff lo the gate in the city wall. It is open only from dawn until dusk. This is the only city gate with restrictions upon the type of travel through it. No wheeled vehicles, beasts of burden, or livestock may pass here.

In part this is justified by the steepness of the roadway, but it also serves to limit the traffic through the stately neighbor hoods of the Garden and High Quarters.

The Wharfgate's most notable feature is the splendid view afforded from its rugh vantage point. When outside the wall one can see many miles of the Selintan River. The heights of the Cairn Hills stand to the north in stately majesty. On a clear day the trees and rocks of the crests are clearly visible. And looking toward the city from inside the gate brings all of Greyhawk under view.

It is guarded day and night by an elite patrol of the City Watch, reinforced by a standard patrol in the gate house.

Wharfgate: Most traffic here consists of citizens who wish to wander in North Hills Park or persons having questionable business in Shack Town or with the Rhennee, whose barges are tied up at Barge End. No wheeled vehicles, beasts of burden, or livestock may pass through here, a rule that limits lower-class. traffic into the wealthy area of the city. From Wharfgate, much of the Selintan River valley to the southwest and the city itself (which slopes away to the southeast) can be seen from here. An elite patrol and a standard patrol of the City Watch are here.
