Eastgate was the eastern[note 1] gate into the city of Arabel in Cormyr,[1][2][3][4][5] through which the East Way passed.[6]

Description[]

The gate was flanked by two towers.[6]

Location[]

Outside Eastgate sat the Eastwatch Inn on the north side of the East Way. South of the road were the merchant yards for the Iron Throne. The city's open market was just within the gates, across the street from the Watchful Lynx inn.[1][2][3][4][5]

Notes[]

  1. The compass rose on maps of Arabel may point either to the top or left of the page, because of an error that was repeated in publications, making directions confusing. However, it is very clear from in-text descriptions of the locations of gates—such as Eastgate, for example—of buildings, and of roads in the city that north should be to the left of the earliest maps, which were republished in most sourcebooks.
