Great Gates of Avoret

Perhaps the largest fortification on the continent, the Great Gates of Avoret stand at the border of Araducia and the Wilds

History
During the time of Warlord Andreas Valentine von Avoret II, there was a pressing need for a fortification against the Bandit Queens. Very near the end of his life, in 59 A.D., he submitted for consideration several sketches of a great, wall-like gate between their territory and that of the current Bandit Queen.

Originally, the plan was for a gate five thousand feet tall at the narrowest point in the mountains and plains; three miles wide. As that would be unable to be sustained, they reduced the height and planned thickness by three thousand feet and one hundred feet, respectively. Very soon after, Andreas II rode off to war and was killed by a stray arrow piercing his skull.

Since then, his sons have led the construction of the gates. They were finished exactly one month before the birth of the latest heir to Avoret: Andreas Septimus Valentine von Avoret III.
