The Wharfgate serves as a prestigious portal for those arriving from the Nyr Dyv or the upper reaches of the Selintan. It is the 'clean' alternative to the industrial Cargo Gate. This gate is the primary entry point for high-status travelers, diplomats, and wealthy merchants who arrive via luxury river galleys. It provides a direct, secure route from the northern docks of the River Quarter straight into the manicured streets of the Garden Quarter. It is where the city's most expensive imported luxuries—fine wines, delicate silks, and magical curios—are processed by a more 'refined' branch of the customs office.
