Learn how to travel effortlessly between Dornogal and Azj-Kahet in the War Within.
In the War Within, traveling directly between Dornogal, the new central hub, and Azj-Kahet is seamless. You'll find a marked tunnel location on your map that serves as a portal. It's unclear whether you need to reach a specific level of Renown with the Severed Threads Warband faction to access this portal, as it wasn't in earlier versions of the game. A quick look at the Renown rewards didn't list it as one of the rewards.
The tunnel entrance is located here in Dornogal.
Once you use the portal, you will arrive near the Weaver's Lair in Azj-Kahet. The portal allows for travel in both directions.

The new character select screen might seem like it limits your Warband to only four characters, but that’s not the case!
When you check out the new character select screen in the War Within, you’ll notice only four characters around the campfire. On the right side, there's a list showing these four characters. This layout led many to believe that you need to drag and drop other characters to include them in your Warband, but that’s not true.
Warband applies to all characters on your account, not just the ones you see. The four characters displayed are simply your favorites.
Hopefully, this clears up any misconceptions readers might have about Warbands.
