Bloody Gate
On this tab
The Bloody Gate seals the High Road, the only way through the Mountains of the Moon into the Vale of Arryn. It isn't a single gate: twin towers linked by a grey stone bridge, with two long stone breastworks cut into the mountainside, all crowded into the point where the pass narrows.
It's commanded by the Knight of the Gate, who by custom asks every traveler who wishes to cross it who they are.
Origins
Age of Heroes
During the Age of Heroes, a dozen armies tried to force the pass and broke themselves against the Gate's stone. There are no names or dates from that age — only the pass's reputation as a grave for anyone who tried to enter without leave.

War of the Five Kings
Arrival of Catelyn Tully
Catelyn Tully crossed the Vale seeking the Arryns' support against House Lannister, and at the Gate she was met by Ser Brynden Tully, who had ridden out after a sortie led by Ser Donnel Waynwood.
Not long after, the Blackfish gave up the post and rode back to Riverrun.
