Two redstone doorways that seem to be twisted in a way that is hard for the eye to follow. They are ter'angreal. One leads to the land of the Aelfinn and the other leads to the land of the Eelfinn. The doorway to the Aelfinn has three sinuous lines on each side while the doorway to the Eelfinn has three lines of downward pointing triangles.
