## Information

**The Fallen Portal** is a bridge between realms located in The Vernati Desert. It is similar in nature to The Spirit Portal, though instead of being surrounded by green magic that emanates life, spiritual energy, and healing, The Fallen Portal is surrounded by violet magic that emanates corruption, malice, and evil power. The Portal's Builder is unknown, though it is rumored to possibly have been constructed by a Demon God, opposite to Tamashi. This would support the theory that both portals were constructed around the same time in history, as well.

The Fallen Portal acts as a gateway for Unintelligent Unusuals to access Earth, as it has been noted that the portal spawns them regularly. Furthermore, the portal was noted to have incredible corruptive qualities, as it is able to turn humans who interact with it into demons, corrupting their body and mind with malice.

Nobody knows that lies on the other side of the portal, as access to it has been completely restricted by The Purorigu, who have constructed a heavily-fortified military base around the portal in order to exterminate any unusuals who spawn from it, as well as to prevent people from entering it. According to legend, the last person to enter the portal was a miner in the 1400s, that individual later became Kojitenski Ankou.

## Discovery

Around the mid 1400s, an ambitious group of miners were planning to take an expedition deep into the uncharted territories of The Vernati Desert in hopes of finding rare minerals, gemstones, and oil, as much of the desert had yet to be mapped. The group was made up of twelve gentlemen, all of whom were extraordinary individuals, with five of them being active members of The Minervan Military. The twelve miners made their way into the desert and headed north into uncharted territory. They charted the territory and mapped out the northern region of the desert for the next five years, travelling to and from their marked positions monthly in order to keep their rations replenished.

During one of their final expeditions into the desert, the group of miners stumbled upon a second portal which they had mistaken for another Spirit Portal. This portal was much larger than the other one and emanated a violet glow from the entry point rather than a green glow. Furthermore, the portal made strange humming noises and hissing sounds. The twelve men approached the portal and took note of the surrounding area. They noted that the portal was surrounded by red and black sludge, much like the sludge produced by Unusuals. The portal also seemed to have a strange effect on the men, inducing headaches and other undesirable symptoms.

Curious as to where the portal went, one of the twelve miners decided to enter it. They walked through the portal and disappeared without a trace. The remainder of the eleven miners remained outside, anticipating their comrade's return, but he would never come out. Anxious, the miners continued to wait for a few more hours, before a second miner decided to enter the portal to check on him. Much like the first, the second miner never came back, sparking fear and panic among the crowd. The portal had consumed two of their comrades, and despite their intense dread, the remaining ten miners were all drawn to the portal, tempted to enter it themselves. One by one, each of the miners entered the portal.

It's unknown what lies beyond the portal, as all but one of the miners died upon entering it. The sole individual who managed to return from the portal had been severely corrupted from the mysterious realm, their body overcome with malice and evil. They gained supernatural powers far beyond those of the Extraordinary Individuals, and their appearance had changed drastically. The miner who lived would then go on to become Kojitenski Ankou, his mind corrupted with evil due to the effects of the portal. He would go on to command an army of Unusuals in an attempt to take over the country of Minerva.
