Welcome to season three of Portal Quandary! The Summer Court has found their way back to their home planet, but in their long absence things have changed - they have returned to a world no longer accustomed to their magical heritage, and many fear that the Court has brought magic to the world for more insidious reasons than they claim…

In these cautious times, our party finds themselves employed by a new organisation dedicated to understanding what this new magic means for the world, as well as preventing unforeseen catastrophes the magic has brought with it. It’s trial by fire as they learn how to understand this strange new Melbourne and discern who is friend or foe in Portal Quandary: Atrius.

Portal Quandary Atrius releases episode 1 on January 3rd, 2025!

Join our unlikely team as they face off against their fifth and final monster plaguing the city from another realm! Höde enjoys some newfound freedom as an increasingly anxious Ezra leads the charge in locating the missing prince. Doug uses his noble connections. Sassandra’s magic continues to evolve.
