The portal... is a strange and mysterious sight indeed...

...but has a look that is quite particular....



The portal, held in a secret chamber in the Castle, is strangely enough, perfectly round. It has a height of 14 feet and in the middle of the portal, contains shifting, mixing colors. If you look into the portal long enough, at the shifting colors, you feel slightly queasy and a tad light headed.

Around the edges of the portal, you can see carvings into the black marble frame. These carvings are in the form of strange words, but no one knows of the language of which they originate. Many of the castle's most intelligent beings are working day in, day out on cracking the origin of this mysterious language. Around the unknown words, there are carvings of warriors and villains, doing battle. These carvings go all around the outside of the portal, covering every square inch of the framing.

But on every night, at the sound of midnight, it is said that there are strange sounds coming from the portal. These sounds are sometimes mistaken by the local residents as music. This music is peaceful and calming, putting anyone who is still awake in the castle, into a deep sleep till morning. No one suspects anything of this, for it is not something that is doing harm to them in any way, and there's nothing wrong with a good nights sleep right?

Many of the Citizens of the Kingdom are unaware of the Portal's existence, so they are concerned with the amount of secrecy about the castle. Many are also curious as to the reason there are no banquets held at the castle at night.
