Hi Folks,

while exploring every corner of the new map I noticed some strange portal (see pic 1). You cannot see it on the picture but that blue stuff is actually whirling around in game – like a portal does.

From the Map you can see that this structure is in the middle of the first PoF map – so this is not a portal which leads to some other map as they are normally at the border.

Also I dont think that it just connects to the inside of the temple of kormir (the name of the big building you can see on the picture), because Amoon is full of explorable buildings without a loading screen aka portal in them.

Last option I had thought of was that there might be some story relevant stuff behind it – but why a use a portal to segregate it? Why not just make a star and a closed door in its place like all the other instance entraces we had in the recent years?

So the only thing which remains is that is the entrance to a new raid. Also the place fits, as Kormir is the Goddess of secrets (or at least contains all the secrets from abbadon). Maybe the new raid will take place there because the player characters want to learn something about Balthasar or so.

So what do you think where that mysterious portal will lead to? And also why is there an big yellow/white something in the middle of it?

PS: If you want to see it ingame just follow the path shown in pic 2.

Sorry for doubleposting but I seem to be unable to attach two pictures to one post. Here is the path how you get to the shown location. The text on the event says: “Escort Refugees from the temple of Kormir to the southern waypoint”. Thats there were the other “Escort Refugees” Event start.

Possibly. Would be neat it was a dungeon though. The areas are a lot larger and can be due to mounts, so if they decided to add dungeons again they could add much larger dungeons with more exploration.

Though it seems dungeons are kind of a thing of the past.
