Swirling Vortex

These vortices are concentrations of the Emptiness. They are used as portals to Lufaise Meadows and the Misareaux Coast, as well as portals into and through Apollyon. 
In order to be used, a character must have access to Tavnazia, granted after defeating the bosses from the spires of Promyvion - Mea, Promyvion - Dem, and Promyvion - Holla (completing Chapter 1 of the Chains of Promathia).
There are two main Swirling Vortices:
*Valkurm Dunes (I-9) in the cave; leads to Lufaise Meadows (K-8).
*Qufim Island (E-6); leads to Misareaux Coast (G-7).
==Apollyon==
In Al'Taieu, the two Swirling Vortices at (D/E-6) and (K-6) are used to enter Apollyon. From within there, Swirling Vortices are used to enter each area and to progress through different floors.
For all areas of Apollyon, the following key items are required:
*Cosmo-Cleanse
*Red Card (western zone)
*Black Card (eastern zone)
With these items, the following zones can be accessed:
*NW Apollyon
*SW Apollyon
*NE Apollyon
*SE Apollyon
However, by trading specific chips obtained within Apollyon to the module, additional areas may be accessed:
*CS Apollyon
*Central Apollyon
==Other Details==
Near the Swirling Vortex in the lobby is a "Sentinel Column" that will tell you whether the desired area is currently occupied. If it is, it will also tell you the amount of time remaining for the people who are in that area. For Central Apollyon, you must trade the required chip to the "Sentinel Column" in order to check if those floors are occupied.
