Description
This gate complex consisted of two gates and a pair of towers that stood 90 ft. (27 m) high. One of the gates was made from white marble and the other from fine alabaster. The first gate was decorated with gems and gold depicting a mage flying on a carpet. The second gate was inlaid with silver and white gems showing a djinni flying through the sky.

A wizard using a monocle of magic detection made note of any visitor radiating a magical aura. The visitor would not necessarily be stopped for carrying magical items, but they would be watched closely.

A large gong was used in dire circumstances. If struck, hundreds of additional soldiers and dozens of mages would arrives within moments.
