Re: It's Not A Gate
I think that a quote from The Giant is significant.
This indicates that there are several layers of security.
First of all, the rift is sealed. The seal is designed to stay closed at all times, and never be opened.
Then a gate is put on top of the seal. The gate serves as additional protection, preventing access to the seal. A gate can be sometimes opened. My guess, this allows inspection, maintenance and strengthening of the seal. Usually it remains closed.
Then there are various protections, preventing access to the gate, whether guarded by paladins, monsters, illusions, or wizardry.
And the whole thing surrounded by secrecy, so no outsider knows about the gate in the first place..
