Portal Network

The Portal Network refers to the multitude of portals in towns and dungeons linking together various locations in Dereth.
== Portal Hubs ==
Portal hubs are locations that contain numerous outbound portals.
=== Dungeons ===
Town Network - This is the primary way to get from town to town. It has a portal to nearly every town inside, and almost every town (even those not included in the network) has a portal to here. Notable Towns that DO NOT have a portal in the Town Network include Ayan Baqur, Bandit Castle, Candeth Keep, Crater Lake Village, and Wai Jhou.

== Town-to-town portals ==
For a long time, there were three major portal loops connecting many towns. The expansion packs also brought additional portal connections. During the Shifting Gears event, the Town Network was introduced and nearly every existing portal to a town was destroyed.
=== Remnant Portals ===
The following portals survived the destruction, and are still functioning properly.
=== Retired Town Loops ===
Primary Loop
Also known as the newbie loop, this retired loop connected the nine original nexus arrival towns. There were also a few outskirt portals that could be considered part of the loop.
Secondary Loop
Also known as the capital loop, this semi-retired loop connected the three capital cities and Qalaba'r.
Tertiary Loop
Also known as the Arwic loop, this retired loop connected the various non-starter and non-capital towns.
=== Retired Marae Lassel Portals ===
These retired portals connected the cities of Osteth with Marae Lassel.
