Do we now? Then we must move swiftly. Where might it be?

It appears that Mirax is in the Khraal. This letter seems to be genuine, given that the author took pains to write it in several obscure languages for encryption. But this tapestry appears to also be a portal to the Whisper Woods, where we would undoubtedly find another of the Cannith workshops. If I can discern how to use this portal, that would be our first destination, as it would be the quickest. But I worry over the content of this letter; it seems the Claw has breached the surroundings of Mirax's sanctum. Then again, this letter could be out of date, and Mirax could have relocated. Even if that's the case, we should go to the Khraal to see what we can find there.

Kundari attempts to see if he can find out how the tapestry/portal is activated. Knowledge(Arcana);Search (1d20 8=25, 1d20 9=24) .

Kundari doesn't see any obvious mechanism for activating the tapestry [with search check].  He knows, however, that there are a myriad of ways to activate tapestries of this sort - keystone, command word, ritual, etc.  The method of activating a particular wall-hanging is determined at the time of its creation, and can be ascertained by analyzing the magical structure of the object [Spellcraft, anyone?].

The mists of time part before Kundari, and the haze of distance clears.  He is peering down on a plateau where a wizened old man sits staring into the distance; Kundari recognizes the panorama as that depicted in the tapestry.  Time blinks, and the same old man, now wrapped in visible flows of power, weaves cloth from materials both arcane and mundane; in his hands, even the raw essence of magic is no more than a craftsman's tool.  Another blink, and the view zooms closer where Kundari can see the man finishing his spell and binding to it the activation method - the words of power, the arcane gestures, the necessary materials.  This information imprints itself on his mind in much the same way that a spell does.
[Kundari can now activate the tapestry, carrying himself and anyone in contact with him, to the location depicted by the cloth.]

Determined, Kundari makes sure Alroc has his equipment, grabs his arm, and activates the tapestry.
