+We managed to stabilize it and it is now orbiting Eyal. Recently we have noticed a disturbance there, if we do nothing it will crash onto Eyal, bringing much destruction in its wake.
+Because it was once part of a land we know well we can teleport you there. You will need to stabilize three wormholes by firing any attack spells at them.
+The instability is also to your advantage there, your simple phase door spell will be fully controllable.
