Gates of Ruthros

The Gates of Ruthros are ancient, said to have been created by the Eladrin before they departed the world. The gates are built into the only pass through the tall cliffs that rise up sharply north of the Essentvale
A large and imposing set of metal gates, impossibly old yet seemingly free of tarnish, are set in thick stone housing built into the rock of the narrow valley. The steep valley walls rise eighty foot on either side and the sharp rocks make them a difficult climb.
This apparently natural wall is the only real land access to the Essentvale from the rest of the continent, keeping the lands beyond safe from the rest of the world.
