The Wood Gate

The Wood Gate is the southernmost gate on the Outer Wall of Semper, and is one of eight Gates in the wall.

It is a large two piece door constructed of a Magnesium Nano-composite metal gate built into a defensive tower and is overlaid with a variety of hard wood types to form a diorama of the wooded area that is visible past the tower. It includes trees, water features, and colorful depictions of a variety of animal and insect species.

The gate is inlaid with a variety of non precious stones (including Amazonite, Malachite, Citrine, and Peridot) which provide colour to the scene depicted.

The gate is mounted into a tower made of granite that rises three metres above the height of the wall. The section above the wall is surrounded by a brattice style hoarding made from Verawood. The tower has narrow firing holes with wooden surrounds.

It leads to an area of the Exterior which is dominated by a large wood. Whereas other areas of the Exterior are linked to each other The Wood has only two access points one in the Outer Wall and one in The Crystal Wall.
