The entrance to the keep

Eastgate Keep, otherwise known as Eastgate Monastery, the Rogue Monastery, or Citadel of the Sightless Eye[1] is a structure that guards the passage between Khanduras and Aranoch.

History[]

Early History[]

Eastgate

Eastgate Keep

Eastgate was constructed by the Sons of Rakkis during their crusade against the West, the structure serving as a fortified outpost against their enemy's counterattacks. After Rakkis's previous successes in Aranoch, it was here that he regrouped his forces after the Barbarians and people of Ivgorod proved to be unconquerable. After restoring his men's morale, Rakkis led his forces west, eventually founding Westmarch. Eastgate later fell into abandonment.

Sometime later, the keep received new custodians—a group of rogue Amazons who called themselves the Sisterhood of the Sightless Eye. They used it as their base of operations.[2]

The Dark Wanderer inside the monastery

The keep briefly fell to Andariel and the Sisterhood was splintered during the time of Diablo's return. However, the cathedral was cleansed by a group of heroes and Andariel was defeated.[2] Six years later, survivors of Blackstone Village fled to Eastgate, where they swore revenge against the Bloodsworn. To this end, they were apparently trained by the Rogues.[3]

In 1286, Eastgate remained under the control of the Rogues, its training grounds humming with the sound of bowstrings and battlecries.[2]

In-game[]

The monastery appears in the first act of Diablo II. It is divided into numerous sub-zones.

  • The entrance to the monastery appears as a loading screen in Diablo II: Resurrected. The Sisters' heraldry appears beside the door.
