The absence of a cure for the Moonshadow doom bought about a lull in exploration; had it not been for the other portal opening and nightly flooding our world with Moonshadow's accursed spawn the portal would have been abandoned.
It opened in the west, and each night they came in darkness to feed. At first a cordon was enforced, and an area around the portal walled in. Yet each night more and more would come and the king forsaw a day when the walls would no longer be enough. As of now there are 5 walls around this portal, the first two are regularly breached ny the Moonshadows daemonic brood.
During the day many have been sent through this new portal. None who entered the new portal have ever returned whole, though occasionally a dismembered limb, or head, does make the return trip. Rough tears upon the limbs and agonized cries frozen upon faces suggesting an unenviable end.
