Eagle Gate
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
The Eagle Gate is one of the five great fortresses that guard the Inner Kingdoms of Ulthuan.[1]
It has a standing garrison of some of the finest warriors of the realm, with service at the fortress being considered a great honour, although few survive thanks to the many dangers.[1]

History
It was built during the reign of Caledor I to safeguard the realm from the ravages of the Dark Elves.[1]
End Times
During the Wars of Reclamation, the Gate was commanded by Prince Yvarn who led the garrison in defending it against the forces of Chaos sweeping across Ulthaun.[2a] As well as the formal standing garrison, the Ashencloaks - Shadow Warriors also helped defend it but remained aloof from the other warriors despite attempts by Yvarn to contact them.[2b]
