			===New Portal===
			The "New Portal" was initially established as a temporary portal immediately after the 825 WK liberation and converted in Spring 825 to a permanent portal. Open to the public it links Borovia Town with [[Borovia Hold]] at the foot of the [[Superstition Mountains]]. The portal has been set up to support the many dwarven masons, builders, engineers, and miners heading north into the County, and the mineral wealth of the Dragonspine mountains that is being shipped South.
