Gates to the Valley of the Dead

These enormous ancient gates obstruct the road leading into the Tors of Levenies. The awe-inspiring building looms over the plains, dwarfing the nearest mountains in comparison. It is a grim memento of an ancient race that once ruled these lands. In the shadow of the gates, even the air seems stale — the wind blowing from the Valley of the Dead beyond carries with it the scents of dust and decay. There is an eerie silence in this place — there are no sounds of wildlife, sand and flaccid grass muffle footsteps, and even the howl of the wind through the gate sounds hollow.
