Allpoints
The Allpoints is an inter-realm island, connected to each of the Mortal Realms by Realmgates known as the All-Gates. It has since been renamed by the forces of Chaos into the Eightpoints.[1a]

History
The Allpoints was as an important nexus of travel that was used in the Age of Myth.[1a]
Knowning that the Allpoints was key to conquering the Mortal Realms, Archaon attacked all the All-Gates simultaneously. Sigmar armies managed to hold out the ferocity of chaos, failing only when Nagash side fell. After Archaon's conquest he created a gateway to the Realm of Chaos within and renamed it the Eightpoints.[2]
Realizing Sigmar's plan to reconquer the Realmgates, Archaon decided to reinforce the Eightpoints.[2]
While the Realmgate Wars were happening, Sigmar's gaze was constantly drawn to the Allpoints where one of his greatest foes resided, the Everchosen.[3]
