**The Gatehouse** is capital city of The Azémar Peaks, located at the central location of the Auroran Universe (known as the Celestial Veil). The city is built in the midst of a valley, located in an unknown continent, it is currently a replacement for the Isle of Northgard. The valley provides protection from the destructive mobs of the Veil.

## History

The first civilisation deity Jusserhead, forged the Gatehouse in the year 917 of The Age of Mortals (AoM). The purpose being a gateway between the worlds of the Veil. When The Guardians arrived in 967 AoM led by their Archgaurdian and The Director, they saw that The Gatehouse lacked natural defenses and rose the almighty mountains of Azémar, in order to protect the sacred land.

The Gatehouse was recently settled by The Guardians, once The Kingdom of Swordhaven fell to ruin. The Gatehouse is the first gateway to be actively used by the mortals, since the fall of the first ones. This is often the first location many travelers arrive to, and are given the opportunity to explore the restored portals of The Guardians.

## People and Culture

Historically forged in The Age of Mortals, The Gatehouse has embraced many cultural roles and people. The Aurorans being the last population to inherit the sacred grounds. Even though the Aurorans are proud of this sacred place, the first civilisation demand that once their academy has been constructed they must leave their sacred home. Due to the help of The Guardians, they are lucky to inhabit the lands for the remainder of the construction.

## Geography

The Gatehouse is composed of eight total portals, fashioned in the form of great gates. Circling the inner border of the newborn peaks. Restoration by the Guardians, has modernised the favorable landscape and ensured that the portals would function once more. The only entrance currently in existence is by manifesting into the universe to join The Aurorans (Spawning).

The gatehouse is located at the central location of the Auroran Universe, upon the sprawling flat lands of the super flat land formation of Overworld. The weather is constantly sunny, with a regular time cycle from day to night, with a bright moon in the night shining over the Gatehouse and in the day, the glorious sun beaming down to provide natural light and heat to The Aurorans.
