Portcullis. Art by Kev Walker.
Portcullis was the gate of the
Stronghold on
Rath, and a symbol of oppression for the
Skyshroud elves and the
Rathi Tribes. During the reign of
Volrath, Portcullis was shaped to resemble the
evincar's face. When he was succeeded by
Crovax, the gate was altered to resemble the new evincar by simply welding sharklike teeth onto Volrath's image.
