Inspecting the pedestals it becomes very obvious quickly, that they have a symbol embossed on the side facing the portal, carved from stone, you can see the very simple symbols for the following made out of the draconian common alphabet, a bastardized version of draconic made for simple minded monsters.

  • Angels
  • Demons
  • Archons
  • Devils
  • Dragons
  • Giant
  • Undersea
  • Underdark
  • Far realm
  • Undead
  • Nature
  • Magical beasts
  • Fire
  • Water
  • Earth
  • Air
  • Constructs


The last pedestal is missing a symbol, and has a small clear gemstone that reflects the image of whoever peers into it.
