Yeah I think standard wooden gates work better for Tarkalor's Gate. Fits in with generally inferior nature of modern construction theme:-)

It looks from the sketch that the entrance into the original citadel is an opening in the Tor itself leading to a tunnel that goes up and under the walls rather than through them. A stone gate certainly suggests itself there though. Another example of Sestarto's overkill I imagine.
Does Tarkalor have some sort of symbol? That'd be a nice addition. I keep getting mental images of the Ishtae gate for some reason but maybe that's too weird for the locale.

Perhaps Tarkalor tried to get as much elemental protection for the gate as possible but screwed up somehow?
