Town Gates
Town Gates mark the point where the road stops being wilderness and Starfall Reach begins asking questions. Stone towers, timber palisades, heavy doors, lanterns, and watch posts control the main approach while traders, miners, adventurers, wanderers, and people with less convincing explanations wait beneath careful eyes. Garran Holt and the town watch check newcomers, inspect suspicious loads, and know that trouble rarely introduces itself honestly. Beyond the gates lie roads, forests, bad weather, monsters, and worse decisions. Inside waits a town with different problems. Most travelers enter after a few questions. Some are searched. Some are turned around. Everyone is watched. Always.
