Rios Portal

Rios portals are artifacts strewn throughout Creation, activating seemingly at random and placing those who dare enter in the most peculiar of places. While seemingly random, portals in-fact have specific triggers that cause them to activate...and disappear, change locations, change destinations, increase in lethality, decrease in lethality, change scent, change the user's voice, and cause the spontaneous adoption of new languages. They exemplify the nature of their creator and are observed with reverence and/or fear, depending on who is present.

While extraordinarily dangerous to use, Rios portals can be extremely convenient if the portal in question has been thoroughly test and proven to be dependable. The mages of Artaraka are infamous for obsessively testing portals and using them to establish outposts throughout Creation. It is rumored that some portals lead to the realm of Rios himself, and that he resides at a crossroads where all portals meet. It is also rumored that Rios himself doesn't know where all of the portals go. It is rumored that some of these rumors are started by Rios, including this one.
