The Great Gate
A large structure built long ago to keep one people away from the other.
Purpose / Function
The Khined originated the wall when they discovered humans in their northern teretories. They had some bad runins with the humans at first and they deemed them too hostile and too weak to be considered good enough to trade with. So the Khined built the mountain range and the great gate to keep the humans out until the Khined knew what to do with them. This of course has been used by both sides as a door does not open for only one person.
Alterations
On either side of the wall a small civilization was built. For the humans there is a prison close to the boarder and the men and women who are serving at it are now made to stand guard, if they leave the wall to the south they are doing so at their own risk. No one wants to risk facing the Khined.
Architecture
There is a raw feeling to the door. It is made out of a raw sheet of stone, too thin to be made by mortal hands. This was the product of magic and it has now been reinforced by metal work on either side. Gold with the Khined and Steel and Iron with the humans.
Defenses
Both sides have standing bodies of men. Though it is the Khined who keep actuve soldiers near the wall to keep people from escaping to the south. The rumors might be true that the Khined will rather kill the people who come over instead of letting them fight for a new way of life.
With the human side there are less people up until twenty years ago, then a large army was starting to form. The army will go to the prison and try to get the prisoners to sign over their names and their time in jail to be a soilder. Many of them refuse as they know what they are facing. though in recent years these numbers have picked up as people have forgotten how horrifiying the Khined can be.
History
Built during the hight of the Khined Empire the Khined have been maning this place for generations. It's only been in the last few hundred years have humans bothered to think that the door was made to protect them. Though that cannot be further from the case. Humans are the dangerious monsters of the world. The Khined are scared of what they will do once they are free.
