Voreia Nkéit (building)

The North Gate is a series of fortifications along a single large stone wall stretching across the northern border of modern Malcois.

Originally built by the Kartharaddi to separate their newly conquered territories in Aversaria from their core regions to the north, the fortifications became the site of heavy fighting after the Aversarian reconquest of Malcois, and tales say that the bones of a hundred thousand strong can be found buried around it.

The site was largely abandoned after the Night of the Bleeding Moon and the Aversarian march north, and slowly fell into ruin until Frodbrokna some 500 years later. With the Sjalvolki marching ever closer south and the rapid expansion of the Fog, the wall was repaired and rebuilt by the local Aversarian warlord Dethyn Kalathyn in an attempt to hold Cenware's horde. None expected the Sjalvolki to brave the mountain passes west and cut through the Fog with magic however, and the North Gate ended up being taken without bloodshed. Now, the North Gate represents the last line of defense between Aversaria and the Fog, its guards staring ever vigilantly north into the disturbing mist that brushes its walls.
