	[[Borovia]] is currently occupied by Drow and they are a remainder from Drow Invasion of the Western Kingdom. The tunnel between Alfhiem and Borovia has been closed for years. The Borovia portal to Kin-Lu has somehow been retasked to act as a two way portal between Borovia and Elvish Isle. A large portion of the general population of Borovia escaped as poor refugees, later becoming guests of the [[Superstition Mountains]] Dwarves south of [[Carzala]].<br>		[[Borovia]] is currently occupied by Drow and they are a remainder from Drow Invasion of the Western Kingdom.

	Two portals exist between the Elven Isles and [[Terranova]]. The first is of modern construction being design by Sir William of [[Mulberry]] and built by planar mages from [[Kinlu]]. It takes the form of a stone circle some 50 feet across on ''Dolphin Island''. Every moonrise a mist rises in the circle to a height of 10 feet. A minute of so later it dissipates and everything wholly within the mists ~~swamps~~ places with an identical volume on the island of [[New Destiny]].

A minute of so later it dissipates and everything wholly within the mists swaps places with an identical volume near [[Puerto Bozo]] on the island of [[New Destiny]].

	The second portal, called the ''Water Path'' is a form of undersea tunnel that links a tiny ~~islet between the ''Shark'' and ''Whale'' islands~~ with a point near the southern tip of Northern Terranova. This ancient path dates to the time of the Elven Empire. The path contains breathable air and is protected from the dangers of the sea floor. It may be traversed on foot or mounted but has become too uneven to take carts or wagons. As travelers move along the path they somehow take longer and longer steps so that a journey from the Isles to Terranova take about two days of full travel. There are a number of broken side paths that are now closed off. Some apparently led to Mer-elf cities that have been long lost.
