Portals

The strangest places in Daleth are the Portals. The fact that they are actually invisible is very weird and -to many men- scary. Some people think the portals are holy places, but no known religion accepted the portals as a place of the gods.

What are the Portals?

The Portals are places where people appear or disappear. People coming to Daleth via the Portals usually lost their memory or turned insane. The few who do remember their former lives, claim to be from another world. Some have related stories, some have very different stories. They are supposed to come from different worlds. The Portals are portals or doors to other worlds, so say the scientists of Daleth.

It can also be that someone disappears from Daleth when going through a door. Some scientists say small doors can pop up anytime, anyplace, and swallow someone totally unexpected.

Not only people come through a Portal, the same goes for other living things as animals and plants. Dead objects are rare, but the humans do have things with them as clothing, small personal belongings, jewellery.

Where are the Portals?

There is only one Portal at a time. This Portal will pop up in different places and stay there for years or ages. Since the Portal is invisible, it takes a while before someone realises the Portal has moved.
Nowadays, the Portal is at Hailaiga. The place of the Portal has been marked with upstanding boulders and a large stone Portal on the actual spot. A former Portal was near Isauls in Isatèr, but there is no trace of it left.
Some Naglani claim the Naglani came through a Portal near Ciniz. They say the Keepers of Doravor still guard the place. In their opinion, Doravor is Daurawards, The Doorman, the Keeper of the Portal.

It is unknown if the other lands on Airtha have Portals too.

What is beyond the Portals?

Scientists are working on schemes to travel through the Portals to other worlds and come back to Airtha. The study of the Portals is a difficult one, with many boycotts from both religious and political sides.
They think it is possible to construct a portal-ship that can travel through the Portal, and keep up a communication line with Daleth. This Portal-ship should be strong and well-provided. It is unknown what is behind the Portal; it can be a nice place or a cruel one. It is whispered some frightening monsters came through the Portal, what if the ships arrives on a world filled with monsters?
