The Great Gate (Wumpa Archipelago)

The Great Gate is the main gate of the Wumpian stretch, a 743 year old wooden wall dividing the western and eastern halves of N.Sanity Island, just short of the island's main river. Behind the wall lies the main territory of the Wumpian indians, who travel out past the wall seldomly.

The gate is completely militant in functionality, with sharp lance shaped spikes adorning its base and several windows for archers and crossbowmen. Naturally, it is stationed by a small group of loyal warriors, who eat and sleep in the gate's barracks. This group of defenders was once small, never surpassing ten men, but in recent years has grown in response to Neo Cortex's arrival on the island. Now, over 30 men work at the gate and constantly reheasrse battle procedures with each other in preparation for any potential attacks from Neo Cortex. The gate is significantly taller than the rest of the wall itself, and is visible from several miles away as far as the coasts of the island. It is designed with multiple floors and balcony ways, and even gauntlets of clever traps which are activated to prevent intruders from reaching the gate's central wheel. This wheel is used to open the gate itself, and is watched by at least two men at all times.

The walls of the gate are lined with the vines of poisonous plants which prevent intruders from scaling the structure, and even domesticated intelligent plants are kept as weapons of war. These are not the only domesticated animals at the gate, as certain guards in residence keep turtles as pets, and some have even been reported as to keep monkeys. The poisonous vines reach down to the base of the gate itself, which itself is surrounded by thorned bushes of knotweed.

The gate is structurally decorated with totems and sun motifs, which seem to be of the Wumpian's main idol. At the eastern end is a giant totem, the tallest structure on N.Sanity Island.

History
The wall was built in 1243 AD in response to the civil war with Fraxinus, who attempted to revive the Lemurian empire. Under the dictation of the superstitious chieftain Bulgorbubel, the wall was purposed to defend the tribe from evil spirits released from Akuian temple

Architecture and Size.
