Hall of Worlds

The intense UV and X radiation from Bellatrix blasts the landscape and causes rock and minerals to glow.  The atmosphere is filled with metal vapors, providing spectacular displays of color - for any who can survive to witness them.

Ancient before the first dragons arrived in the solar system, of unknown origin, the Hall of Worlds is an abandoned city of doors and chambers, each of which leads to other places and, perhaps, times. There are no known limits to the places that can be accessed but then again, not many have returned from a visit to the Hall of Worlds and consequently, very little is "actually" known about it.

The proximity to the blue-white giant Bellatrix causes several problems with access and visits to the Hall of Worlds:

• All portals are one-way, from the Hall of Worlds to where ever. There is NO portal that leads to the Hall of Worlds.
• Once every 100 years, the planets line-up and shield Bellatrix for a period of 24 hours. It is ONLY during this time that magical teleportation spells, gates, etc., to the Hall of Worlds will function. All other journeys to the Hall of Worlds must be made physically, somehow.
• Exposed to hard radiation from Bellatrix, NO living entity can survive longer than a half hour. Skeletons of all manner of beings, humans, dragons, not-so human, etc., that were too slow to take advantage of the portals litter the streets or, at least, the outlines of skeletons in the dust into which the hard radiation reduces bone are visible if the wind has not blown them away.
• There is NO magical protection which will last more than 5 minutes, the energy of the star simply destroys such spells.
• The technology required to create the required protection will have the result of killing all life on Ifreann long before it is developed.
