The City of Portal

The City of Portal

By: Sword of Geddon, and other contributors on the Wizards boards.

Like Haven, Portal is a demiplanar city but it is more like Sigil than Haven. ie: portals require keys. All the hidden portals inside the city link only to demiplanes, or planes that are considered to be unusual, like Time, Shadow, Fairie, Wood, Mirrors, Illusion, etc. Even more mysterious is the fact that Portal is laid out in the same manner as Sigil (it is donut-shaped). The city is also referred to as "Mini-Sigil" by some, usually those who were from Sigil who have made their way here.Interesting Note: Berks who jump off of Portal into the void, do not disappear, like they do in sigil, but reappear elsewhere on the Ethereal Plane. It is the city's most obvious, and most used exit.GovernmentThere are a few sects here which operate the city the same way the Factions used to operate sigil before the faction war, among them are 1. The Merkants(who run the financal aspects of the city) (PSMC 2)2. The Downguard(Who run a university inside the city teaching physics exclusively) (Mimir.com)3. The Opposition(Ones that have decided to focus on opposing law-breakers) (PSMC 3)4. The Prolongers(who live here to escape the influence of the Doomguard and Dustmen, they also run a hospital in the city, used exclusively by Prolongers) (PSMC 2)5. The Discovers(Who run a university teaching all subjects, and generally control Portal's educational system) (My Creation)6. The Communals(Who enforce Portal's Democrat government, and act as lawyers to citizens unable to aford them normally) (Well of Worlds, Mimir.com)7. The Campaigners(Who view the city as their fortress, and defend it accordingly against would be invaders). (My creation)8. The Revivalists(Who operate a history museum inside of Portal, and are quite active on Portal's council in upholding traditional values, they also control traffic to and from the Demiplane of Time inside the city) (Mimir.com)
