It is said that the Diamond Gates are composed of glittering crystalline facets. It is also said that over the course of the Eternal Conflict, the forces of Hell fought their way to the gates on more than one occasion (at the least, five times). However, for much of its history, the gates were never breached, and as such, no demon ever gained entry into the Silver City. The greatest and most elite warriors of the Heavenly Host maintained a tireless vigil at the gates, ready to repel any who might besiege them.
