Entering the Rift is done through the sphere at the south end of the Cavern of Ages. A drain of 1 to 2 spirit can occur upon entry for each group member, but no longer occurs while moving within the maze. To enter Plane 1, continually go north. To enter Plane 2, continually go west. To enter Plane 3, continually go east. If a character has a movement style set, destinations from the sphere may be unpredictable. Some players will choose to rest inside the sphere area while their spirit recovers. |

Navigating within and exiting the Rift involves various moving objects. There are doors and mirrors on Planes 1, 2, and 3 that will exit the Rift. There are threads on Planes 1-4 that can be climbed to bring you to the next higher Plane. Plane 4 is accessed by climbing the thread from 3. Plane 5 is entered either by the maw on Plane 1 or by climbing the thread on Plane 4. The thread on plane 5 leads back to plane 1. |

The Rift is located past Drake's Shrine which is at the top of Aenatumgana. The Rift is a magical location -- a tear in dimensional space that was designed to contain the Vvrael. There are rumors of numerous strange things inside the Rift. Notably, there was a mechanical beast with lights for eyes that zooms past every once in a while (which is likely a modern car). Also on the fifth plane was a location known as the Heart of The Rift, which is a large, irregularly-beating heart infested with worms.
Note: Your character must be level 66 or higher to enter the rift.
