	Surrounding the Gates are hundreds of embedded chisel marks—believed to be oath-seals, each placed in silent acknowledgment that the way remains closed. The air around the site is reported to distort tone and breath slightly, causing many visitors to speak in whispers or fall silent altogether.
	\|Function=No formal function remains, though the Gates are used in symbolic rites during city-wide transitions and ancestral invocations. Stonewardens sometimes post silent vigils near the outer passage.
	~~\|Cultural Role=To Duranthi, the Gates represent the unknowable boundary between stone-as-memory and stone-as-origin. Pilgrimages to the outer threshold are common.~~

	~~\|Interpretation=Scholars and mystics alike interpret the Gates differently:~~

	* Lorewardens describe them as a harmonic balance of Terasil’s memory and mass.
