As well, he marks the existance of the 9 Portals that he knows of (besides te one that sits a half-mile away under Dwarven Guard. Explaining the Portals to those unfamiliar with them, Hreltren begins'The Portals use Earth Magic to transport travellers from one Portal to another. Each can be activated for just under a minute without fear of damage or even destruction. Afterwards, there is a period for them to recharge lasting from 10 minutes to over an hour. In Elder days, there were stronger Portals in Cuvaghn, but their nature is beyond our learning now, Some of my folk, indeed some who were here for the Wyrm's Coming and aided in evacuations tell of these being destroyed from taxation, so great was the strain of the magics needed to get hundreds safely away. Some of these exploded, killing those operating them and those travelling.Such is a sad but accepable loss, for many more there were who escaped and found their way to Temperlain, the maker of Prince Alembregh's Map most likely among them.Dwarf Clan Valkorim controls this Portal and charges a fee for it's use.100 Gold a head Outgoing.There is no charge coming in from another Portal, provided the correct sequence of Arcane Codes is used, thus showing that you are friendly and not of the Enemy.' <Arcane Lore DC 20-40 for really old and disrepaired Portals figure out how to activate a Portal. Most will fall around 25, and no problem for Stori most likely>As you all move in and take a beter look at what the Svirfneblin is doing and saying, one of the Dwarf soldiers bursts in,it is Hrolf Ironfist, who had been getting the Tusker's stabled.'Liege! An atttack, not 3 blocks from here, Orcs have come through some Air pasasageways and are carrying off Clan Hurdrinn Dwarfs. It looks to be a Slave taking Party. The runner said near 2 score, and barely a dozen of the Clan warriors on hand, my Prince!' A voice nearby the Prince whispers 'It would seem that your chance to say hello to Cuvaghn's Populace has come...' Turning to where Hreltren was, Alembregh sees nothing of him.Nobody saw him leave, intent upon Hrolf's message.<Will post a series of maps tomorrow, detailing areas around each Portal></blockquote>
