I am currently preparing a brief one-off adventure set in the North, close to the Dungeon of the Ruins (the series of one-offs deals with both Acolytes of the Hidden Flame and Circle of the Thawed - a sect of ex-Aurilites, if anyone is interested I can provide more detail). I wanted the party to emerge from the Spine of the World, fighting off an ogre mage and his minions. There is a location on the map called The Gate from World to World, which I am guessing is either a literal portal or an allegorical name for some sort of a pass through the Spine of the World. Sadly, I can't find any info on this location anywhere online - so I would appreciate it if somebody could point me to a source. If anybody else has their own lore about this location, that would be really cool as well.  |

Seeker Sammael,
You may want to look here as well, as there are references to the Great Glacier, Spine of the World, and more!

"Smallish beholder" sounds to me like beholder-kin - gauth perhaps? |

Happy to hear it works for you.

Oh, this is great, as I was looking into a way to integrate a beholder into my adventure! Thanks George! |

There is a location in the original FR5 Savage Frontier sourcebook (the entry was subsequently repeated almost verbatim in The North boxed set) called "Gate". The entry reads:
"As its name suggests, he ruins of Gate hide a gate between planes. The underground gate takes the form of an immense black cube, with a single door. Inside, a numbe of colored stone slabs are doorways to other planes, including several alternate Prime Material Planes.
Gate is guarded by powerful bugbears in the service of Zythalarlr, a smallish beholder, which fancies itself as "the gatekeeper" or just "the keeper."
The North boxed set adds the following to the entry:
"Those who want access to Gate must first answer a riddle or be killed and eaten by both the bugbears and the beholder."
