==The Southern Gate==

A small community remains within the remnants of a walled city.  Primarily made up of traveler services, the Southern Gate is named for the one remaining gate that stands in the wall, facing the Final Road, which sends an offshoot up through this community.

The community is deeply jealous of the mining wealth of its northern neighbors, but lacks the strength to do anything about it.  Most of the able bodied and quick witted children of the Southern Gate leave with travelers and caravans passing through, or head north to work in the mines.

Due to the desperation, the Splendor's influence is strong here, with families offering children to the service of the temple-city and priests given free access to the ruins and the extensive catacombs beneath the community.
