Door of the Fall

The Door to the other side of creation, as the Door of the Fall was called when it was nothing more than a legend, was discovered hidden in a temple in an ancient city, whose ruins were thought long lost, but which was located near the Catobi border with the Wasted Lands of Undar. The Door, a large ball which seems to hold a world within itself, rests in the main chamber of the temple of the Great Lord Phalgor. Mounted on nothing, it appears to float under its own unknown powers. The hall in which it resides is filled with as yet untranslated text, although the few pictures that adorn its walls seem to speak of some unspeakable horrors.

From the reports of an early research expedition, the way to the temple is open and unguardable without an entire army. This precludes any brash military or political actions on the parts of any of the surrounding forces. The location of the temple also makes it difficult to reach without adequate water and desert survival preperations.

As to the workings of the Door, reports seem to indicate that there is no special rituals which need be performed; one simply approaches the sphere and, as one gets closer to the center, the world he has left seems to disappear while the world before him becomes larger.

Unfortunately, the inner workings of the Door are still a mystery to me, as all those who have seen it have been more interested in traveling through it than studying its mysteries. That is, of course, how those misguided adventurers see the world. Most unfortunate indeed.

It is sheerly unbelievable that we have found a "door" through to the Outside. And to think that it took the fall of Uum for us to find it. The damned thing was sitting practically under my beard the entire time. Of course, I knew that the ancient city of Kek was there all along, but to think that it hid the Door to the rest of creation....
