Ishallr: Eclipse Portals
From Ashan 717, when an intrepid group of explorers came to map the ice caves, things on Scalvoris changed fundamentally. Now, there is a static cave on Ishallr in which sit two portals. High security and careful monitoring of these portals is round-the-clock and the secrets of using them is a very carefully kept secret.
The only people permitted entry to the Eclipse Portals are University employees with all appropriate paperwork showing that they have been granted use of these portals by the Chancellor, or those who survived the expedition to find the portals. Each University / Higher Education location has different means of / criteria for who is allowed to use these portals.
The brave explorer who lost his life in a valiant attempt to save others whilst exploring the ice caves. These portals are named Eclipse Portals in memory of him.
These portals can be used, but only those who work here can operate them. However, with the correct permissions, they allow immediate travel between Scalvoris and Rharne or Viden, and the same back.
No matter what the weather on the rest of Scalvoris is doing, here it is freezing. The floor outside is deep snow and inside is at a constant temperature of truly uncomfortable. The "reception" area once you step into the caves themselves is a place filled with coats and hats, scarves and gloves. Really -this place is like no other. The walls are ice, the floor is snow and, as much as it should be dark in here? Somehow, it's bright light.
