Ahhh I have time to post about this ( which no one else has followed up on).
While the sky city maybe inside the portal there is no way to get on or off
of it. All the inhabitants that were there died. There is no INSIDE the
portal per se. You have the flutist play the tune and then you step through
and appear on the other side. It would have been really nice if the Nexus
was actually a nexus and not a doorway with multiple exits. I picture a
nexus as a pocket dimension that has doorways to other dimensions all
connectiong to a central hub of paths to the other doors.
