|Introduction=The '''Gates of Origin''' are a pair of immense stone structures embedded within the deepest reaches of the Citadel Mountains. They mark the entrance to the inner valley believed by Orasians to be the resting place of [[Oras]], the ancestral spirit of stone. Long sealed and unmoving, the Gates have become a central point of reverence, silence, and ancestral speculation. No civic path passes through them, and they have never been known to open in recorded memory. | |Introduction=The '''Gates of Origin''' are a pair of immense stone structures embedded within the deepest reaches of the Citadel Mountains.

|History=The Gates are referenced in pre-civic chant-lines and echo glyphs as the *First Closure*—the act through which the realm was sealed to preserve the balance of [[Orasia]]. Whether the gates were shaped by Oras or emerged naturally through resonance is disputed even among Lorewardens. | |History=The Gates are referenced in pre-civic chant-lines and echo glyphs as the *First Closure*—the act through which the realm was sealed to preserve the balance of [[Orasia]].
