# Rift Gate Failures ## Category Planar Technology Failure / Laboratory Disaster ## Known Facts - Rift Gate devices were developed by [[Keth]]. - They were designed as portable portals linked to pre-programmed locations. - [[Lab Halen]] industrialised their production. - An enhanced Rift Gate test went wrong. - A portal opened to an unknown place. - Something came through. - The entity could not leave but could not be killed. - [[Lab Halen]] shifted from production to containment. - Production was moved to [[Lab Venos]]. ## Known Effects - Opens portals across planes or locations. - Can malfunction. - Can let entities through. - Can create containment disasters. - May connect to [[Shadowfell]] pathways. - May allow something beyond normal planar travel to feed or enter. ## Known By - [[Pipe]], through research - Full party, partially - [[Lab Halen]] researchers - [[Keth]] - Possibly [[The Order]] or [[The Order|Universal Order]] - Possibly [[The Night Council]] ## Connected To - [[Keth]] - [[Lab Halen]] - [[Lab Venos]] - [[Lineage of the Veiled Kin/09 - Items, Artifacts & Documents/Aetherite|Aetherite]] - [[Ovk]] - [[Shadowfell]] - Night Council - Zuri’s device, possibly - [[Arcturox]] technology ## Open Questions - Did [[Keth]] know the enhanced test would fail? - What was the intended destination? - What came through? - Can Rift Gates be safely used? - Are there active Rift Gates in [[Tarin]]? - Are they connected to The Order’s laboratory portals? - Are they causing planar instability?
