Castle Gate

Description
The Castle Gate is a fortified passage between the Urban Quarter and Noble Quarter in Gran Soren; together with the Passage Gate it is one of two main routes into the Noble Quarter, and Duke's Demesne from outside.

The gate passage takes the form of a long sloping walk with gates at either end - the structure take a common defensive form with a right angle turn at one end preventing rapid movement through, coupled with accessible wall walks above allowing defenders to look down on those passing through.

The upper wall walk is only accessible via Gran Soren's walls - the entry near the main west gate near the Fields must be taken, then the battlements ascended and the long walk around the walls made - there are two chests on the upper ledges, that may contain some basic armor pieces.
