Model and Footprint

The Dark Portal is not one model but 2: the client swaps display between placements, and 2 placements of the 3 read use the one measured above. Placement scale runs from 1x to 1.24x, so the smallest and largest copies of it differ by a factor of 1.2. Its art is client file 1118780.
The 3 located placements are split across 2 maps, the two furthest apart on one map stand 139.5 yards from each other on Draenor, and they range from 16.7 to 25.6 yards of altitude, a 8.9 yard climb between the lowest and the highest.
