Gate of Winds: the main entrance into the Keep of Winds and a fortress in its own right.

“But he was far away and Aikanor’s madness raged unchecked. He flung Tasian and the other House of Stars dead outside the Gate of Winds for the carrion eaters…”

“The voice snuffed out as the flames had done and Malian breached the surface of the darkness like a diver, to find herself standing before the main gate of the Keep of Winds. The keep cleaved the dream realm like the prow of a great ship, yet the Derai world massed behind it was as closed to her now, even in the realm of dreams, as it was in the waking world.”

‘Briefly, Malian felt the fire from the path of earth and moon reignite along her veins… But her heart tugged toward her seer’s memory of the Gate of Winds, breaching mist and darkness with the vast body of the Derai world concealed behind it. Until the civil war, that world had included the Golden Fire, the core of the Derai’s Alliance and their bulwark against the Swarm—a lost legacy she had been raised to honor. Setting Raven’s account against it was painful, a blade that struck to the heart.’
