The Gates are seven gates throughout the city of Lunathion, one of each positioned in the seven districts.
General Information[]
The seven Gates are each set along a ley line running through Lunathion. They had been designed as a quick way for the guards in the districts to speak to each other centuries ago. People merely had to place a hand against the golden disk in the center of the pad and speak, the wielder's voice would travel to the other Gates, a gem lighting up with the district from which the voice originated. Today the Gates are used as a tourist attraction due to technology such as mobile phones.
All the Gates are carved from enormous blocks of quartz hewn from the Laconian Mountains to the north of Lunathion. They were memorials for some conflict or war. They each have the same plaque that reads "The power shall always belong to those who give their lives to the city."[1] Each Gate has a golden block that sticks out of one side. Jutting out of the quartz about four feet off the ground is a dial pad made of solid gold embedded with seven different gems, each for a different district of the city and the insignia of each district beneath it.
