A '''Town Portal''' is a specific spell that opens a portal to the closest [[Horadrim]] magical gateway. Most people would need this spell written down on a [[Scroll]] to use it, as it's very complicated to learn.
==Diablo 3 Town Portal==
There will be a lot less Town Portals in [[Diablo 3]], and exactly how they will work is unknown. In the [[WWI 2008]] [[gameplay video]], we saw a [[Barbarian]] finding and rescuing [[Deckard Cain]], and he returned back to town through a Town Portal, so it's likely that they will exist in some way. Possibly a lot less common, or with a [[cooldown]]. We will know more closer to release.
==Background==
The [[Horadrim]] constructed numerous magical gateways between the mighty fortresses so that they could quickly concentrate their defences against any incursion by the [[Demon]]s. With but a thought, the Crusaders of the Light could transport themselves to predetermined destinations many leagues apart. Although the secret of creating these gateways has been long lost, it is still possible to use the pathways that are already in place. A Portal opened by means of this spell will always take the caster to the location of the nearest gate and remain open long enough to bring the caster back to his point of origin.
The [[Church of Tristram]] is built upon the remains of a Horadrim monastery, and a gateway lies nearby. The same thing is true for several other places in [[Sanctuary]], including cities like [[Lut Gholein]].
