Sounds like a big request, but actually I just need a working list of known 'sea-portals', or ones you can travel through by ship. I know there are a number in Skullport, and there is one that leads from Shou to the Sea of Fallen Stars, mentioned in RoF. There was even one used by Iakhovas that connects the Lake of Steam to the Aloar, if I recall.

Any other water-born portals that anyone knows of? If you do, please include a source reference.

Thanks ---- Mark

There are so many portals in the Realms that trying to compile any kind of list is a daunting task... It would be much quicker and easier to simply make the portals you need, as you need them.

In the Watercourse Triology (I think book 2) there was a magic item made from the Red Wizards of Thay.

Spoiler--------------------------------------------------------------



It used to open a portal for a ship, but don't use this one - it was created with a flaw and opened the portal to high. The goal was to destroy the unique ship of the master builder - but you could use a "good" one

There was a series of articles on the Wotc site wich can be found here: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/archfr/pg that details a number of portals, other than that I don't know.

I suppose I will have to read the Last Mythal soon. I've been avoiding it, because I really don't care for Elves.

Thanks for that link, Mortagon, that was VERY helpful, especially the stuff about Umberlee's fist! I haven't had time to read all of them, but I will be going through those articles tonight (and taking notes).

I plan to, but I'm trying to tie into some existing lore, to help me 'anchor it' all firmly in the Realms (pun intended).
