The Bloody Gate is located southwest of the Eyrie and northwest of the Redfort. There are two long parapets built into the stone of the Mountains of the Moon. The high road, so narrow where it meets the gate that only four riders can pass, is watched over by twin watchtowers, which are joined by a covered bridge of grey stone that arches above the road. Defenders of the gate can fire through arrow slits in the towers, bridge, and battlements. Beyond the fortification is a steep, rocky trail which descends to the Vale.
Ravens are kept at the gate, as are shaggy, sure-footed mountain horses in its stables. The Bloody Gate can provide respite for at least a few thousand men. The commander of the fortification, the Knight of the Gate, traditionally asks the question, "Who would pass the Bloody Gate?" to all who would pass through. A septon is also in attendance.
