As before, if captured, enemy realms will not be able to teleport to or from these keeps
Porting Changes

There are now 4 docks in each realm
These docks cannot be captured
One dock near the Ruined Keep
One dock near the Center Keep
One dock at the river near the Strength Relic Milegate
One dock at the river near the Power Relic Milegate
All docks will take players to the other realm’s Ruined Keep and the 2 Coastal Keeps
Players will still not be able to boat to Caer Berkstead, Nottmoor Faste, or Dun Crimthainn
