02 - Seven Portals — The Seven Portals lead to many dangerous places...

“	Greetings mortal, are you ready to die?	”
—Korax

The Seven Portals is the first hub of Hexen: Beyond Heretic.

The game begins with an introductory level, the Winnowing Hall, intended to familiarize players with the game's controls and interface. The action takes place within a large fortress complex on the fringe of the conquered world of Cronos. The fortress features a central courtyard where the seven portals are located and three sub-regions, the Guardians, with different themes - Ice, Fire and Steel. The hub's primary puzzle is relatively simple and requires the player to gain access to two switches, which open the seventh portal.
