Known Gates from Pohjola
Gate of Karhu
The Gate of Karhu, otherwise known as the Gate of the Forefathers is located at one end of the Wood of the Warm Lakes. The gate itself lies unattended above a slowly decaying ice-ruins. The gate is formed from an ice-cave shaped like the head of a bear. Great-Bear cave extends underground deep within the permafrost. The gate originates in one of the galleries of Great-Bear cave, and the gate itself is a vertical pool of golden light that disgorges travelers, although this hasn't happened in centuries.
Originally, the Twelve Tribes of Karhu arrived via this gate and they build a temple to honor the spirit totem of Karhu who created the gate and save them from a terrible and now forgotten fate. A set of ice-stairs rises from the gate-gallery and slowly ascend through several other galleries until reaching the bear's mouth and the surface.
