The Call is the phenomenon that draws otherworlders to touch the portals on their homeworlds, leading them to Auberean. The exact origin and nature of The Call is unknown. One source describes it as, "a strange compulsion to touch [the portal]," describes the portal's pull as "nigh-irresistible," and that you feel "uniquely summoned, needed."[1]
Some attribute The Call to Asheron. And that is certainly not without merit, seeing as the game is titled Asheron's Call. However, most of these sources draw a direct connection between Asheron casting the Sundering and Isparians finding strange portals in their homeworld. This is incorrect as 569 years passed between Asheron's spell and the first Isparians arriving on Dereth.[2] What role Asheron plays in The Call, if he plays one at all, is still a mystery.
