The Sunset Gate

The name for the line of sunset in the Feywild west of Twilight’s Grace and east of Duskmire. It stretches from Amberglow north for some distance. It is a line of materialized color - yellows and reds and oranges painted in the sky, but as physical barriers - like paint brush strokes just sitting in the air. The colors are physical and passing through them is impossible, but they are riddled with cracks and openings. In some places, these cracks are sharp and dangerous, and passing through has weird time effects - sometimes it takes a day or a year to walk through a crack.

In other places, especially where it passes through the edge of Twilight’s Grace, there are elaborate structures - the ~Evensong Spire~ is particularly famous for its immense towers that intertwine with the painted colors of the sunset.

Since the Cloudspinner vanished from Amberglow it has been odder, and less controlled. The colors shift unexpectedly at times, and the time effects are less predictable, and even the safe passages shift time in strange ways. And sometimes dark clouds race along the colors, blotting them out and bringing an unexpected darkness to the land.

Where the Sunset Gate crosses through Duskmire, near the Darkwood, it has been chiseled and worked by Lord Umbraeth to try to tear it down, but it has instead grown back as a tangled maze of angry reds and oranges, like sharp glass. This part of the Sunset Gate is especially difficult to pass.

The northern parts of the Sunset Gate, north of the ~Evensong Spire~ is outside any particular fey domain, although the sunward side is inhabited by a number of allies of Archfey Ethlenn who are charged, among other things, to watch for mischief from the Gloomshaper.
