Waterdeep

The West Gate was the western point of entrance and exit through the Trollwall into and out of Waterdeep, the City of Splendors, as well as the least used of the city's four gates. The gate featured two towers, both standing three stories tall. It was comparatively smaller than the city's other gates. Like other gates, members of the City Guard were stationed at West Gate, though by contrast there were no magisters stationed at it. Prior to the Year of Blue Fire, 1385 DR, as a defensive measure one of the Walking Statues of Waterdeep was stationed beneath the West Gate and hidden away on the Ethereal plane. The West Gate was typically used by various sorts of fishermen, from those who fished from shore to those who went out with nets or traps, as well as clam diggers and the occasional bather.
