- This article is about the merchant event. For the metaphysical gateway of souls in the afterlife, see Ebon Gate (gate).
Ebon Gate (or EG) is a yearly paid merchant event that occurs at the end of October/beginning of November, and is focused on death and celebrating the Eve of the Reunion. There have been several different ghost towns for EG, each with their own backstory and mini-quests, but the basic mapping of the area for shopping remains the same. The first EG was in 1998, making it the longest running regularly scheduled merchant event.

Gaining favor would unlock mechanical benefits associated with the original quest prize, a ghezyte chelioboros item. In 2020, the storyline advanced to feature several factions following other deities working against Ghezresh.

Year Item Show Addition Information, if any 2021 a medium-sized bolt of elesine cloth N/A to be used as alter fodder for medium-sized items, or as trim only for larger items, including cloak-worn items, gowns, and large capacity containers). 2021 some grey elesine sandals with twisted indigo suede ties While the crisscrossing main straps, heel risers, and heel leashes of the sandals are made of lustrous light grey elesine, the soles and footbed are a dull-finished pewter leather. Woven along the strips of elesine of the upper straps and heel leash are thin cords of indigo suede that extend beyond the base structure of the sandal to serve as ties. The dye work on the suede is inconsistent, ranging from light blue to dark and back again, like the moonlight-dappled waves of a nighttime sea. N/A 2020 an indigo elesine sack embroidered with coils of shadowy eels The construction of this sack is double-walled with an indigo exterior, while the interior is a soft, misty grey. Cording in a twisted braid of both colors is fed through the gathered mouth of the container and into a pewter chelioboros clasp to ensure the safety of the items within. Amongst the indigo folds of elesine is subtle eel embroidery a shade or two off from that of the background, and clever tailoring along with the natural sheen of the fabric gives the creatures the illusion of movement. N/A 2019 a grey-trimmed indigo elesine tunic Cut to hit the wearer at mid-thigh, the tunic is tailored of fine elesine dyed an uncompromising shade of indigo. Elaborately embroidered swirls in silvered grey threading trim the edges of the lower hem and the keyhole neckline, coiling like errant wisps of fog, while a set of laces slither through electrum eyelets lined from mid-chest to throat. The cuffs of the sleeves bear similar lacing, as do the splits on either side, though both are merely decorative. N/A 2018 a pair of grey elesine pants The elesine from which the pants have been tailored is immaculate, and the subtle metallic sheen lent to the sea silk by the interwoven threads of electrum give the garment a flowy drape. Indigo embroidery chases the outer seam of each leg as the bodies of eels woven together end to end all the way to the cuff. From one of the front belt loops, a thin length of chain is fixed, and it dangles a simple ghezyte chelioboros medallion. N/A 2017 a deeply hooded grey elesine robe Deep grey in hue, the robe is meticulously tailored and in pristine condition. The elesine from which it is woven has a triaxial pattern accented by the subtle metallic sheen of the sea silk base and thread-thin strands of electrum. Along the edges of the deep hood and belled sleeves are tendrils of indigo satin, the embroidery sinuous and curved like the lithe body of an eel. At the throat, a ghezyte chelioboros clasp closes the robe.
