Maybe, but IMO one of the main reasons why nobody entered Pavis for some centuries was that there was nobody interested in doing it. After all, the only people able to do it were the nomads (and only the major tribes among them). But, from the POV of the nomads, it would be senseless to attempt to enter Pavis: why open a wasp's nest when *they* succeded to close it?

It's somewhere in RoC. The problem is that the walls didn't resist for too long: the trolls broke them only a couple of decades latter. And they could be crossed through the gates.

Well, at least he can walk discorporate through a gate...

Or a blessing. After all, shamans are always searching for good spirit hunting grounds.
