Open Gate District

The large Akariean Silk wall that runs around the city has a high gate that is still standing in this part of Old Vashton which gave rise to the name of this district sometimes it is known as Old Gate rather than Open Gate. The gate itself stands open because it takes a lot of effort to move the gate and even more so to make it actually close, currently door is closed and the other stands open wide enough for two carts to pass through with ease. 
There are worries that this opening, being difficult to quickly close would be a weak point if there was an attack on the city but the town guard and House Deneith both continue to declare that this shouldn't be an issue since the gap will be an ample funnel point as to keep the city safe, and the rest of the Silk wall is impenetrable.
There are an increased number of entrances to the white tunnels of the Catacombs here and the tunnels under this District have been more heavily explored than those of other districts. Due to this adventurers tend to flock to this district and many of the services that they wold need such as healers, alchemists and repair shops for those not wanting to have to travel to or pay for the better smiths in Forgelight
There are a number of buildings in this district have been made out of converted Akarieans buildings.  
Notable Buildings:
The Delvers Den (A tavern built into a closed off part of the Catacombs)
The Grandfathers Roost (the tallest Roost Tower in Old Vashton)
The Guildless Guild Hall (An adventurers guild not affiliated to any House)
