Oblivion Portals: What You Need to Know
Well now, if you been wanderin’ ’round the lands of Blackwood and Deadlands in that Elder Scrolls game, you might’ve seen them strange, fiery gateways called Oblivion Portals. Now, these portals ain’t like your everyday door to the market or your neighbor’s house, oh no. These ones take you right to the Atoll of Immolation, a real dangerous place where you’ll need more than a good pair of boots and a stick to make it out alive. But don’t worry, I’ll tell ya all about ‘em and how to get through ‘em without too much fuss.

Where Do These Portals Show Up?
Now, these Oblivion Portals don’t just pop up anywhere. Nah, they got their spots. You’ll find ‘em mostly in Blackwood and the Deadlands, and they ain’t real picky about where they open. Sometimes they show up when you least expect it, like in the middle of a fight or when you’re just tryin’ to enjoy a nice walk. And, let me tell ya, they’re always guarded by some mean Daedra critters, so don’t go thinkin’ you can just waltz on through without a plan!
What Happens Once You Step Through?
Well, once you step through that fiery portal, it’s a whole different world inside. You’ll find yourself hoppin’ from island to island, tryin’ to make your way to the Havocrel’s Tower right smack in the middle of it all. But don’t go thinkin’ it’s gonna be a peaceful walk in the park. Oh no, you’ll be fightin’ every step of the way, with Daedra comin’ at you from all directions. You’ll need to be quick on your feet and smart with your weapons if you wanna survive this one.
How Many Portals Are There?
There ain’t just one or two of these portals around, nope. There’s a total of 100 spots where these gates could open up. But don’t get all excited now, ‘cause they ain’t all gonna show up at once. Some places, about 20 of ‘em, are guaranteed to open up, but the other 80 can be a surprise. Some might show up when you least expect it, and others might not appear at all, depending on how you’re doin’ in the game. And don’t be thinkin’ you can close ‘em all, either. You can only close 60 of these gates, no matter how much you try. Once you close one, that spot ain’t gonna open back up unless you mess with the console commands. But let me tell ya, if you’re after some big reward, you might be disappointed. Ain’t much to get outta these gates, except maybe a bit of glory.
What Are These Portals Good For?
Now, you might be wonderin’—what’s the point of runnin’ through all these dangerous portals? Well, apart from the fightin’ and the glory of makin’ it through alive, you can get yourself a nice little achievement if you complete 10 of ‘em, either in Blackwood or the Deadlands. They call it the Deadlands Portal Punisher or Blackwood Portal Punisher achievement, and it’s a real fancy title to brag about when you’re sittin’ ‘round the campfire with your friends. Plus, if you’re the competitive type, it’s always good to have one more thing to show off.
The Atoll of Immolation
Now, let me tell ya a bit more about where you’ll be endin’ up when you go through one of these portals. You’ll find yourself on the Atoll of Immolation, which is a real nasty place, lemme tell ya. It’s part of the Deadlands, and you ain’t gonna find any friendly faces there, just Daedra and all kinds of ugly creatures. If you’re brave enough, there’s a big ol’ boss at the end of the Atoll, but I’ll warn ya, it ain’t gonna be an easy fight. You gotta be prepared for anything, especially if you plan on takin’ on the final boss and comin’ out with your skin still on ya!

Conclusion
So, if you’re ever out there in Blackwood or the Deadlands and you see one of these Oblivion Portals poppin’ up, don’t just stand there starin’ at it like a fool. Get ready for a fight, and be prepared to face off with some of the meanest monsters you’ve ever seen. But if you’re lucky and tough enough, you might just make it through to the other side, and if you’re real lucky, you might even pick up a few achievements along the way. Just remember, it ain’t all glory and gold, but it’s a good way to test your mettle and see if you’ve got what it takes to survive the Oblivion Portals.
