Portals

Post by Audark »

I'm interested in discussing Portals, their availability and inclusion in the various servers of ALFA. Myth Drannor, canon wise, is littered with portals everywhere and I plan to utilize them where it is appropriate. I've already spoken with Sheyjin about a link from Myth Drannor to Undermountain, because it exists in canon.

Myth Drannor (i'm hoping) will also have a very limited number of 'public' portals, that charge a small fee for their use. Before the city fell there were public portals to Silverymoon, the Ardeep Forest and the Forest of Mir in the far south. Locations need not be identical since these portals were destroyed or corrupted in canon but I am hoping to use public portals as a way to facilitate IC travel and events. (It also has the secondary benefit of helping those in ALFA without the time to trek across faerun some other IC means to travel)

So I thought this was an appropriate place to discuss what portals (if any) you plan to include in your servers, and where (if at all) they could be utilized to link the servers in alfa's own mini portal network.

As for Myth Drannor theres:
1 - Portal to Undermountain
2 - 3 portals used by the Akh'Velahr Military to travel to various parts of Faerun
3 - 2 or so 'public' portals - initial thoughts were one could be to the Ardeep, linking MD with the Waterdeep area and one could be to the Silver Marches/High Forest linking MD with the Savage Frontier proposal

obviously this would not work without collaboration and agreement, and for those teams I've mentioned just above, they are just initial thoughts and I'd like your opinions on the matter, obviously I'm not trying to force this one anyone.

Cheers

I'm definitely in favor of including them for areas that we cover. :)
