Vivid red and gold lacquer decorates the iron bands of the gate to the southwest. The stone walls of the town are carved with images of fierce beasts and fanciful creatures, and the gate itself is framed by a pair of oversized granite mermen holding tridents at the ready. The forest crowds close around the town walls, no more than twenty paces beyond the gate.
