There are no permanent portals to the Floating City except in the [[Golem Sanctum]], which is also a random appearing portal. Frequently, however, a portal may be found at 86.5S,5.4E near the Land Bridge Villas lifestone (see above for route). Note that this portal's destination within the Floating City is not randomized with every trip through it; it is believed it changes on a monthly basis; it is also not known for sure whether or not this portal is present every month, and results may be different from one server to the next. So the Floating City is, for the most part, only accessible via a randomly appearing landscape portal, similar to the Humming Crystal Portal. It is also possible for a portal to the City to appear at locations where there is a randomly generated portal (for example, northern point).

General

A very old city that has been mostly lost in portal space making it dangerous for anyone wishing to stay for long periods. It predates the Empyreans who at one point lived there and attempted to tame the unstable portal magic.

Alatar Locke the famous early explorer of Dereth and friend of Elysa Strathelar once traversed parts of the city and left behind his notes on each section.

Portals to and from The Floating City

There are no permanent portals to the Floating City except in the Golem Sanctum, which is also a random appearing portal. Frequently, however, a portal may be found around 86.5S,5.4E near the Land Bridge Villas lifestone (see above for route).

Using one of the landscape portals will drop you randomly in one of the sections named below. The portal in the Golem Sanctum appears to be a stable portal to the Floating City's tunnels.

Every time a portion of the dungeon is loaded (whenever a player visits the city), certain portals within the Floating City are changed, presumably at random; this includes both the exit portals (usually a town), and the few random portals (as noted on the map files) which lead to some other random section of the Floating City. Look closely at the maps of all areas within the Floating City to see which portals are stable--do not change--and which portals vary. Depending on which portals are generated, it may be impossible to access certain levels of the Floating City unless your first drop point upon entry happens to be that particular level. If that happens, logging out and waiting 5-10 minutes for the dungeon to "unload" and logging on again can reset the portals and hopefully load the one you need. The Skyway, Tunnels and Lost Chamber require use of a random portal (either getting lucky from a landscape spawned portal, or one of the monthly-randomized portals within the city itself) to access. The Bar, Banderling Area, Construction Area, and Museum are all connected by a circuit of stable portals, so landing in any one of those four levels effectively grants you access to all of them.
