Teras Isle can be found when one uses the southern portal.

Usage

One must first have had a portal ticket in one's hands at the time of portal entry from either side, to have successfully used a portal. If one did not have a portal ticket, they experienced the loss of all of their silver and gems, as well as being thrown onto the ground.

Pricing

To purchase a ticket one gives 10,000 silver to the ticket seller at the Central Nexus. There is, however, a discount price of 1,000 silver for a first time purchaser. Three months can be bought at a time. Notes will not be accepted.
