St. Cuthbert's Gate stands as a grim, holy sentinel. It is the primary thoroughfare for those traveling toward the mining operations and rural freeholds of the Cairn Hills. This gate serves as a functional checkpoint for 'quality' overland trade—refined ores, gemstones, and construction stone. It is unique because it is frequently co-manned by the City Watch and the Zealots of St. Cuthbert. They are notoriously rigorous, searching wagons not just for contraband, but for 'signs of moral decay', chaotic artifacts, or illicit magical components.
