Realmgates are shimmering portals used by the inhabitants of the Mortal Realms to travel across and between them.[1]

History

Age of Myth

The Realmgates themselves shuddered when Archaon and his armies began their incursion from the Realm of Chaos.[6]

Age of Choas

Some Realmgates have become corrupted by Chaos and lead to various regions within the Realm of Chaos.[7]

Having no need to use them, but seeing the importance of the Realmgates to the forces of Chaos, the Slann weave spells that change the alignment of many gateways altering their destination forever.[7]

Age of Sigmar

Realmgate Wars

The realmgates were important in the war that heralded the Age of Sigmar named after them. Each time a Stormcast conquered a realmgate, Lord-Castellants would man them while the Dispossessed and the Ironweld would build fortified town around it, which would later grow into cities.[8b]
