Wingate

Wingate, the town on the border of Heliotyme, nesteld in the pass through the Fengari Mountains. It's absoultely massive gates that block the border, emblasoned with glorious wings, giving it its name. It has only recently become a part of Heliotym however, in 502 AE the city was settled as a part of Heliotym as a result of the war between the Imperum Empire and Imperum Crescent.
The Primal Seven first travelled through Wingate after being seperated across the Continent when Adrasteia, Leoven and Theobald, were travelling back to Posttown to reconvine the whole group. There they experienced travelling through the Wing Gate, this was by being queued through a customs system, at the end of this they go through a teleportation sytem to the other side of the gate. This is the system for small convoys and travellers, it is rare the gate is ever fully opened, excpet in war time.
== Description ==
The city itself lies in the valley of the Fengari Mountains, it is generally pretty flat, with a slight Western incline towards the gates. The environment is lush with greenery due to the nearby lake. It also seems to thrive under the effects of the Heliotym sunlight.
The architecture seems to be mostly the Artemis Cove style, except the tiling is darkened to deal with the heat. This led to the buildings beeing roughed in a deep red tiles, unlike many of the other red tiles that other settlements would have. The architecture of the Wing Gate itself seems to be mostly white marble, decorated in bronze plates, that reflect gloriously in the sunlight. This at certain times of the day covers the town in a beautiful bronze light.

=== Arcadian War for Independence (500-502 AE) ===
Wingate was the main point of defence for Arcadia during this war, and the Prostatis family were main stays of the forces that fought from there, alongside the forces led by Orestes. The war was unusually bloody for the Imperum Empire, and the Arcadia forces fought doggedly for every inch. THe war was ended by an agreement, as it became clear that the Arcadian forces couldn't hold, but that the Imperum Empire would lose more men than they deemed worthy. Arcadia would remian technically not part of the Imperum Empire, but would give up WIngate, and would change the name of the kingdom to Imperum Crescent.
