Amaryuu�s power spans the world, and Seiji and company strive against it. They will purge the agents of Amaryuu in a righteous storm of vengeance, first through Ortzenhelm, then Sigmar, and then return to the Brass Empire and the lost Hall of Ages. The heroes traverse the globe to put a stop to Amaryuu�s ambition. But for what? How can mortals contend against such a monster? After such striving and blood and loss, what is the horrible secret of their quest? Despite all, Amaryuu is still alive, and his machinations still work evil upon the world. In the Hall of Ages, Azura will learn the grim truth of her existence and the one hope to stop Amaryuu�s mad ambition.

Disclaimer
Vis et Virtus is not a normal Neverwinter Nights module, nor is it intended to be. It is, by design, a mostly linear adventure with a heavy emphasis on story and character development. It was designed to be a fusion of game genres combining elements from traditional Japanese console RPG games like Final Fantasy, with computer RPGs like NWN, along with devices that are unique to VeV.
If you are looking for a game that uses a non-linear approach with lots of dialogue options through which you can create a character of your choosing, featuring standard NWN systems, I encourage you to look elsewhere. There are plenty of excellent games out there that do an excellent job of this. I would also encourage you to look elsewhere if you don't have the time to allow the story and characters to develop. Like a great novel, the story gets better as it goes, and many questions remain unanswered until later in the series. In the beginning, you will not know the full history of each of the characters nor have a full understanding of their motivations, but over the course of the game these elements will become apparent. Finally, in order to add to the depth of the characters, Vis et Virtus uses pregenerated characters. If you are uninterested in games involving pregenerated characters, please do not waste your time downloading VeV.
If, on the other hand, you are looking for a game with a truly epic story, strategic battles, engaging party members, unique systems and stunning custom content that make you feel like you're playing an entirely different game, you will enjoy Vis et Virtus.
If you are still uncertain as to whether Vis et Virtus is the sort of gaming experience you like, I encourage you to read our reviews. QSW and the Vault Review Team have written excellent, detailed reviews of the last three chapters of VeV which will likely give you a good idea of what to expect. You can find them at Link, Link, and Link.

*** Spoilers *** Your question is rather unclear. Since you're asking about the "left portal", I'm going to assume you're at the entrance. To go through the left portal, you must activate it by going through the right portal and completing a puzzle or two. If you meant story-wise or if you are elsewhere, shoot me an email and I'll be happy to direct you further. ***

What do I need to do in the Hall of Ages? I presume it's getting the left portal active, but how do I do that? _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

*** Spoilers *** There are a couple paths on this map that are dead ends. The catapaults are one of them. Ignore the catapaults and, from the entrance, go east until you find a hole. Climb through the hole to get to the mirror. Then you use the mirror to get to the staircase. ***

Sorry, that would be the mirror cavern past the vault. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

Stuck in the cave past the Hall of Ages- I see the catapults and the mirror, but cannot access the mirror because it is blocked off. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them. Thanks, Steve

Ok, now I feel silly :-) But in my defense, I hadn't gone over to the left side portal yet to know that it didn't work. I will be heading that way shortly however.....
