Every server has a medallion merchant, located in each of the border keeps. Simply purchase a medallion labeled with the realm (or the battleground) that you feel like fighting in, and put it on in your neck slot. Every fifteen minutes, powerful mages will descend from their aerie, and cast the mighty spells that send you (if you're wearing the medallion, of course) to your destination. The place where you land is called a portal keep, and the portal keeps also have medallion merchants selling these magical necklaces.

The "Dred" servers, and Gaheris, are a little different. Portals are available in all home cities and in realm portal keeps. There no longer is a portal ceremony; instead you simply buy a portal medallion and right click on the portal NPC to immediately transport. There are portals available intra-realm (between portal keeps), inter-realm (between portal keeps and home cities), and directly between each home city. In general, look for an NPC named "Medallion Master" to purchase medallions, then right click the NPC immediately beside "Medallion Master" to travel onward. Here's what he has to say:

"There are two main types of medallions, the medallions of passage and the inner realm medallions. [Medallions of passage] are primarily used to transport a person to far off lands while [inner realm medallions] are useful only to travel within the current realm. Both serve to carry you swiftly about the borderlands, free of the danger normally associated with standard means of travel.

"The medallions of passage exist to carry you between the realms. One needs but to wear the medallion of their choice and travel through a portal to that realm. These medallions can only be used at a frontier fort or one of the outlying portal keeps.

"The inner realm medallions can be used to travel about the borderlands within the realm you are currently in. At times these medallions also serve as a option out of the [main cities]. To use them, simply equip the medallion of your choice and the portals will whisk you to the respected frontier fort or outlying portal keep.

"The portals within the main cities are slightly different in operation. The types of medallions sold nearby will inform you as to the destinations available. Travel from these portals can only be away from the city and never into it. Typical destinations include the frontier keep of that realm as well as the two most immediate towns near the city."

Here's Gabriel's Medallion Chart that will help you with the specifics:

* Note: "- no effect-" means the portal master will just look at you.
