Mundumbra

The portal from which the Maddisons passed through to Altierra in the year 556. It was located on the island of Isla Arbojan.

Etymology

The name comes from the merging of Mundo (world) and Umbral (threshold). It was named in 458 when it was first discovered and the memory of the original portal, Tierrapuerta, was lost.

Location

The Earth end of the portal lay within Portian House on Dartmoor, a building constructed by Sarafina and Garavito when they passed through the portal in 458. The house was built to protect the Earth end of the portal.

In 556 when the Maddisons passed through, the Earth end of the portal was a crack in the wall of a cellar, its true identity unknown to Isabel Navarro who was the owner. Its appearance was as if some of the brickwork in that wall had fallen away to create a small tunnel.

On the Altierran side, the portal resembled an animal's burrow beneath a flattish boulder in the interior highlands of Isla Arbojan.
