The City Gate marked the entrance to the Palace District in Corus. On its northern side lay the Temple District and Palace Way led through the gate set into the palace wall. The gate was as high as the wall, trimmed with gold and "thousands of figures" were carved on it. On holy days the monarchs entered the city through this gate and Tortallan citizens could enter the palace grounds through the gate on Great Audience Days.[1]
