A gate is a strange thing on a fortress. Fully in keeping with the defensive strategy, it serves to keep things out, to protect those within. But if it remains closed in times of peace, then it becomes a barrier between people, an impassable way of high iron bars. And then it not only shuts people out, it keeps others in. It becomes a prison. Fortunately there is a way to counter the imprisoning spell of a shut gate. It is called a key. One simple small bar of metal can open doors, provide the power to release the great bolts and fling the barrier open. All have a fortress, and all have a gate, and all have a key. I choose to open the doors.
