Moongate

A Moongate is an enchanted, magical fortification, usually prominently featuring a gate composed of Ironwood, metal, or another resilient material. Moongates are also framed by stone, wood, or metal reinforcements.

While the Moongate is primarily a Kaldorei innovation, the High Elves made extensive use of the design in their outposts. Perhaps the most famous Moongate in Azeroth is the Gate of the Three Moons, a gate that once protected the entrance to the heartlands of Quel'thalas. The Lich King utlized a number of magical keys to open the Gate of the Three Moons, which led ultimately to the defeat of Quel'thalas by the Scourge.
