Possible alternative interpretation of “ornate metal frames”


I bring this up because there is no writing, of any sort, on the Blackreach gate mechanisms nor can they really be called “elaborate carvings”. However, on a wall near each gate mechanism is at least one of these (see right).



I would like to suggest that these are the “elaborate carvings” Ghelein is talking about and the frames (along with their inscriptions) are now missing. Also the carvings look a lot like a notional map of Blackreach. (Rotate 90 degrees clockwise and assume white line is the river.)
