Perilous Gateways
Great Rift Portals
By Jeff Quick

The gold dwarves in the Shaar have numerous portals in and around the Great Rift to defend and simplify their lives. Most of these portals were created centuries ago, and unlike portals in human lands, most are still known. The long memories of the gold dwarves don't leave them prone to leaving "lost" portals lying around. Since dwarves are a civic-minded race, they are known to put their greatest powers into defensive fortification. Their use of portals in this way is no exception.

Dig into these portals:

• 3/6 The Deeperdown Reservoir Portal
• 3/13 Warriorgates Portal
• 3/20 Durgen's Folly Portal
• 3/27 Wyrmtrap Portal
