I remember someone posting a screenshot of the portals in the Arid Sea and the Crystal Overlook and people were speculating if it were a portal or not. Well, it is. Here are the screenshots to prove it - you have to be on a character that has been to the Crystal Desert or Ascended I think. It's a pretty cool quest and you get to run around the Desert with 8 people.

Just talk to the ghost named Shanrah in the Crystal Overlook:

... can you say sweet? That looks uber-fun. I didn't much like the Arid Sea, but a total-crossover quest CAN'T be bad :-P

But yea... Blackout stops Call of Torment from being used which really helps when you're fighting a ton of them. Or when I want to spike down a cleric mob real quick. XD

Hmmm, I should whip out my map of Elona and figure out where this Crystal Overlook is...

Can we confirm what's necessary to use this teleporter? I found the guardian in the Crystal Overlook, and I have Prophecies, but he won't let me travel. Are we sure that I need to have seen the Arid Sea thru Tyria? Or just talk to Shanrah?

I have no problems talking to either guy in either place and he teleports me without a problem. This is on my Warrior who beat the game, perhaps beating the game enables the travel.

On an Elonian char, you need to have visited Amnoon Oasis/Augury Rock - my Paragon has gone both ways and done the quest now

this proves nightfall and prophecies are happening at the same time- because Ive knocked that statue down at least four times now.

Also, by looking at the timeline, you can see that Nightfall plays 3 years after Prophecies
