Introduction
The Gates of Origin are a pair of immense stone structures embedded within the deepest reaches of the Așdilu Mountains. They mark the entrance to the Domain of Yairan believed by Arânzeni to be the resting place of Yairan. Long sealed and unmoving, the Gates have become a central point of reverence and ancestral speculation.
History
The Gates are referenced in pre-civic early histories depicting the exit of the Namuril into the Domain of Yairan upon Yairan's loss following the Great Erosion. Whether the gates were shaped by Yairan or emerged naturally is disputed even among Yacinsains.
By the time the city was founded, the site was already considered closed.
Architecture
The Gates are not symmetrical doors or hinges, but two massive slabs of interlocking striated stone rising from the mountains themselves.
