The Gatehouse is a Legion lighthouse-fortress located on the coast two days’ ride southeast of Arjuf city, the Gatehouse guards the approaches to and from Arjuf. It is manned by a detachment of troops from the 30th Imperial Legion (sponsored by House Cathak).


It is known amongst poets as the site of ‘Rawar’s Rocks’, where the man who would become the first Imperial Husband of the Scarlet Empress carved a poem on the jagged rocks below the lighthouse to deliver Arjuf’s response to the bribes of the Seven Tiger-Generals.


 WHEN YOU PAINT A DRAGON
 YOU PAINT HIS SCALES NOT HIS BONES
 WHEN YOU SEE A MAN 
 YOU SEE HIS FACE NOT HIS HEART
 
 
 NO MATTER HOW YOU PAINT YOUR FACE
 THERE WILL BE NO TIGERS
 AROUND THIS MOUNTAIN
