Several distant regions are linked by shimmering doorways inside ruined keeps. Use enter (or enter doorway) to step through. You drift briefly through the astral plane, then arrive at the other end. Your mount stays behind, and carrying a zone key in inventory blocks passage until you drop or use it.

For ocean crossings between the main islands, see the Talorien Ferry.

How to use a portal

1. Stand in the room with the shimmering doorway.
2. Type enter or enter doorway.
3. Wait out the astral drift (a few seconds for the ruin link; longer for Ily'kras).
4. You arrive at the matching doorway on the far side.

Ruins of the Lorekeeper ↔ Ruins of Darksbay

A shimmering doorway deep inside each ruin links the two sites. enter it from either side to cross.

Lorekeeper end: the Ruins of the Lorekeeper, deep inside. Reach the ruins from the wilderness west of the Forest of Shadows (marked on the wilderness map; fly lorekeeper on a flying mount), or step through from Darksbay.

Darksbay end: the Ruins of Darksbay, deep inside. Reach the ruins from the wilderness north of Mordant, or step through from the Lorekeeper ruins.

Ruins of the Lorekeeper ↔ Ily'kras

The frozen island of Ily'kras lies far northwest of the Empire. The only way onto the island is through the Lorekeeper ruins.

In Along the Path of Blood, a shimmering doorway crosses the astral plane to Ily'kras. The island end stands in a crumbling stone structure marked on the wilderness map near the Dragons' Lairs. enter the doorway; after a longer astral drift you step out on the island. The return doorway sends you back to the mainland ruins.

Ghosts cannot pass through this doorway.

On the island: Frostholt Mountain in the north, the Dragons' Lairs on the northwest coast, and the Fortress of the Ily'kras in the south. All three are deadly high-level content.
