Anvegad was a Silver Era city and had a fort located in a pass on the border of Kashkur and Vasgar. The city had not been taken in its entire history, and nobody had attempted an assault since the Age of Horse and Cannon. However, during its siege in 17 B.E., Anvegad's commander, Lieutenant Victor Hoffman, faked a surrender in order to ambush the besieging UIR forces. Anvegad was where Anvil Gate got its name. The name was Kashkur, so the COG forces stationed at the fort called it Anvil Gate.
