Dark Gate

The Daranok, translated to the Dark Gate, was the gate of the Bareid in Eznius, and the most fortified and direct entrance into the land of Suezeus. 
== Description ==
The Dark Gate was set in an impregnable black stone and iron wall that stretched from the Shadow Mountains in the north to the Shadow Lake in the west. The wall has been estimated to be 30 feet high and 200 feet long, with each half of the great gate being 70 feet wide, and set on large stone wheels. 
Inset within the wall were myriads of archers, spearmen, bowmen, snipers, and hundreds of thousands of Ghost troops ready to defend the Bareid. The gates themselves may have been made of the same indomitable stone that constitutes the Bareid, so hard that even the Grand Army of the Lux Republic could barely dent it.
== History ==
It was originally a gate built by the Ghost Empire during their rise, to protect and guard the northern entrance into the Bareid and to prevent invasion at the gap between the Shadow Mountains and the Shadow Fields. The Dark Gate was the site of the last valiant battle of the Second Ghost War. 
== Etymology ==
The Dark Gate's literal English translation, Daranok, means "Dark Gate" from dara ("dark") and nok ("gate").
