Walking through rooms without a ceiling, you find a stair who leads to basement. During you wander through the abandoned vaults, you notice that the ruins seem to be sacral building or something.
You enter a vault, which is bigger than the other ones, having a great stone portal in the middle. The portal has some strange symbols on it, but your attention was caught by great red ruby on on side of the portal.
You touch the ruby and suddenly the portal begins to glow. You walk a few steps back to see that a shiny energy flows between the gate-post and the transparent figure of a woman in medieval clothes appears and beins to recite:
"Welcome wanderer. This is the Gate of Cyphiron. It is a interdimensial portal, built as way to entertain and amuse the high classes and great magicians. The activation of the portal has sealed this room so there is no way to escape."
By these words you turn around to see that the way behind you was blocked by a heavy iron door. But you don't want to escape, because you are listening to the mesmerizing figure again.
"In a few minutes you will be transported into another dimension, which was created by the mightiest mages and there is only one way to leave it. Your task is to find this way and leave that dimension. In the dimension live other people and cultures than our dimension, so you must be prepaerd for other languages and traditions. All of your useless efforts to leave this plane can by watched by our dignified nobility and the highest ranks of the magical academy using observation spells, which are casted now."
You shiver when you feel something strange seems to flow through your body.
"To make your quest more interesting for our viewers, you will be changed into a random race, random age and random gender, appearing on a random place in the new world. Your journey starts now. Long live the Archmages of Cyphiron."
The woman disappears and you remember the portal and its function you run to the door, but it was locked. Suddenly a strong suction pulls you through the gate. For a moment you try to resist, but then you are sucked through the gate...
