The East Gate was one of three entrances into the Solamnic city of Solanthus. The wide, smooth eastern road that runs into the city ran directly beneath the parapets of the city wall for a quarter of a mile before reaching the vallenwood gates, which were constructed during the Age of Dreams. The gatehouse was a castle itself, with several towers located at it. The road that leads from the gatehouse to the Cleft Spires is called The Grand March.
