Mirror Rift

[Thanqol]

An old house, damaged from a rather large explosion a few months ago, is repaired and rebuilt. After several hours of back breaking labour (or in Tylis's case, back braking wand waving), Ark and Tylis finish reconstructing the ancient Mirror Portal. Inside, the building is one room from ground floor to 5th story, although there is a catwalk around the edges of each floor. On the walls, intricate mirror arrays are set, angled to perfection due to hours and hours of work. Covering a hole in the celing is a complicated device of steel and lenses, which when the sun shines on it, it magnifies the ray, and shoots it down as a forceful beam around the mirrors, eventualy shooting down, empowered massively, to the Archway.
The Archway is a beautiful arch, around 9'ft high, crafted of the impossibly rare Flametouched steel found in Eberron. The Archway was not forged by Tylis - though he doesn't admit it, even this craftsmanship is beyond him - it was drawn straight from the ruins where it was found, and kept in a portable hole. At the top of the arch is a huge, red crystal of impossible worth.
When the ray of sunlight strikes the crystal, it generates enough power to activate the Rift, if the relays are connected elsewere. A crackling portal opens, a portal that will take any person to any destination possible. It is the perfect portal, it teleports anyone anywhere with no margin of error. Tylis stands behind a small control panel, again drawn straight out of the ancient ruins, and tinkers with it, while Ark hangs up a sign outside.


The Mirror Rift is open for buisness.
Teleportation without error anywhere.
Price on negotiation.
Operating hours dawn to midday.
If you value your life or sanity, for the love of god don't smash a mirror in here!

Tylis smiles as the Rift comes online. Perfect! Power level safe at 75%, the mirror array was flawless, and the portal was ready. Now Ark just had to go through and get the goods. Tylis calls the warforged over. "Ark, you know I found your disabled body in front of this portal in the Ruins. I removed several of your more unusual components, because they may have been threatening. I have come to the conclusion that you were designed to use this rift, because of this." Tylis holds up a small, green-yellow crystal. "This is one of the most perfect things I have ever seen, it was inside you when I found you. It gives immunity to any hostile atmosphere, and allows improved damage to be delt to Outsiders when equipped in a warforged. I think you should have it back, as you'll need it to survive on the Plane of Earth."
Ark nods, and slots the device into his neck. He turns and faces the rift as it crackles open. Tylis shouts to be heard over the portal's roar.
"I'm going to drop you near a vein of pure gold, mine as much as you can without upsetting the dwellers! Good luck, warforged!"
Ark steps through, and passes through to the Other World...

Tylis stands alone, looking into a mirror. There was magic in mirrors. One was shown as he really was, despite any guise and covering. Mirrors were indeed special. He gazed in curiosity at the mirror, then turns and looks up at the Solar Array.

It was the mirrors that were the heart of this. Not the portal, not anything else exept the mirrors. They amplified the ray, charged it with it's own power and returned it redoubled again. Mirrors indeed held magic. Why not turn his studies to mirrors? Ark had indeed found enough gold to fund them considerably. Why not read on the powers on the ancient Mirror Magi of Xen'Drik? Truely it would be a study worthy of one such as Tylis.

Tylis looks up at his reflection again, as he opens his book on the secrets of the Ancients. He wondered if anyone else could see what he saw.

[Thanqol]

Tylis strolls silently through the house, looking at the Mirror Arrays, and ajusting and tinkering things. Then, he sees someone standing behind him in the mirror. He turns, but they're gone. Glancing back at the mirror, he can see them perfectly. A ghost? He moves over to the portal, and activates it, keying it to the Ethereal, and steps through.

A small child wanders through the the building. When did someone move in? What was all of this? It's not fair!
