This is from an old Planescape adventure. The citadel just happens to have (1) multiple shifting portals, which is the first step for creating the Fire Gate. Then (2) an elemental gem or similar crystal derived from a dead elemental must be fashioned into a planar lens, which focuses all the shifting portals into one unified permanently open Fire Gate. However, the final step (3) is permanently opening the Fire Gate using a phoenix feather as the gate key.Pandemonium Gate requires deciphering the tune played at the Harmonica (a site from the old Planescape campaign), and (1) playing the counter tune, which causes the winds of Pandemonium to shift direction. This now makes them flow towards the depths rather than up towards the top layers, so the next step is (2) to break through to a massive chamber in Agathion, the lowest layer, which is actually a vacuum portal that was sealed ages ago by the gods. Finally, (3) divine magic, such as that known by the Queen of Air and Darkness, must be used to determine where the other end of the vacuum portal anchors.</blockquote>
