The Frozen Gates

The Frozen Gates is located along the Icecrown Mountains in the northern parts of the lands controlled by the Prexor Legion. Created by the Icecrown dwarves, the Gates are the main pass through the Icecrown Mountains and into the Frozen Fields beyond. The origins of its construction lies within the Frozen Strife before the Great War, a series of conflicts that saw the barbarian tribes of the Frozen Fields make a coordinated attempt to encroach on the lands south of the Icecrown Mountains. Working together the dwarven and draconic races repelled the invaders back to the frosty north and sealed the pass they used to move their armies through. Here the dwarves constructed seven massive Dark Iron gates to block the pass and have been guarding them for generations. Passage through the gates is rare but on occasion there is known to be expeditions into the Frozen Fields by researchers from the Amethyst Institute searching for rumored lost civilizations among the icy tundra.
