The Septentrional Gate of Immense Solitude is an imposing structure located in The Terrace of the Hand That Crafts in Laelith. It is one of the access points to the city, but it is especially known for its unique history and enigmatic name.

Designed by the architect Blalock-Taussig, this gate is marked by a naming error. Indeed, while it is located in the south of the city, it was named “septentrional”, an error that cost its creator his life on the orders of the God-King Coloquinte Ier. Today, every passage through this gate is a reminder of this mistake, as the tombstone of Blalock-Taussig is integrated into the ground, trampled by all who cross.

The Septentrional Gate of Immense Solitude is guarded by often grumpy soldiers, as their post is generally a punishment. Travelers arriving through this gate are all suspects, often forced to be taken to the Lazaret to prevent the spread of potential diseases.

Despite its dark history and austere atmosphere, the Septentrional Gate of Immense Solitude is a passage to the Monastery of Ultimate Flamboyance and the Ash Valley, a sacred place for funeral ceremonies of the followers of the Fire cults. It is therefore a mandatory passage for many pilgrims and a symbol of the city of Laelith, mixing history, mystery, and spirituality.
