you have to go to the city gates every time a new location is marked on your map. for instance, if you go to the Keep, then get back and Delon talks to you about the Umar Hills, then you have to go to the gates again. I believe this represents the fact that you are in a city you have never seen before and have no idea where you are going. It also represents, i think, you asking the people at or outside the gate for directions. On a similar note, why is EVERYTHING 20 hours away from Athkatla? no more, no less. it seems very unrealistic, especially since distances from other places to each other vary with terrain and distance.
