Garden Gate
This gateway remains open day and night. It is watched with casual indifference by a standard patrol of the Watch, though the patrol makes certain that all who use the gate sign the roster to mark their passage. There is usually no guard patrol stationed in this gate house, though such a patrol is stationed if a major manhunt is in progress or some other internal strife threatens the city.
A roster is kept of those passing through and those arriving in the city are asked their business. Those carrying weapons other than: dagger, dart, sling, staff, staff-sling, club, and knife are required to pay for a license from the Captain General of the Watch, there are no licenses for two-handed weapons. A Freesword Tax of 3 gp is also payable for anyone seeking mercenary work.
