What's the use of the gates, when they open just before a large group of enemies are passing through? I was in the gate of Mnem when it opened just a minute before a group of 20 DC rode through to go steal the elder scroll. So if the gates aren't there to block (large groups of) enemies, what are they there for?
Jord.
As I burn down and murder, I know that God forgives.
'Spite all the things I've done my soul yet forever lives.
And all those caught in the shadow of my wings have cause to fear.
I swear on all I've done, no evil shall linger here.
