Gate of Gnashing Teeth

The Gate of Gnashing Teeth was a fortification built in the centuries after the First Cataclysm so as to guard the entrance to the Ring Mountains, which served as a fence for Um'taran. It was destroyed by the Host of Man in 4175.

Description
The Gate itself was huge and made of black iron, much like the gates and ramparts of Um'taran. It was opened using a system of levers and tethers, pulled by four Trolls on each side. It had two guard towers on either side of it.

History
The Gate was erected after the First Cataclysm and not used to any memorable extent until 4175, when it was attacked by the Host of Man. It was eventually breached and a small garrison of men remained manning it in case it needed to be closed (if the Host lost, which it did). The Gate was ultimately unable to close, however, and it was left destroyed.
