"One of the Rotunda gateways connects to Siberia. Blizzard blasted through."
Wong to Peter Parker[src]

The Rotunda of Gateways[1] is a device inside the New York Sanctum with portals within three doors that lead to various locations on Earth.

History[]

Battle at the New York Sanctum[]

DS Spot 17 - 1

Doctor Strange opening one of the doors

In 2017, Doctor Strange walked throughout the New York Sanctum looking for people and soon discovered the Rotunda of Gateways as well as the Cloak of Levitation. However, Strange soon heard some commotion and discovered Kaecilius and his Zealots attacking the building and killing Daniel Drumm.

During the fight, Strange used the Rotunda of Gateways he had found earlier to trap one of the Zealots in the desert and the other, Lucian Aster, in the jungle, leaving only himself and Kaecilius to continue fighting throughout the Sanctum.[2]

Conflict with Kalkartho[]

In 2017, Doctor Strange used the Rotunda of Gateways to leave and meditate on a mountain. While there, he had a vision of a tentacled creature going to Earth along with the name Kalkartho before returning to the New York Sanctum hours later.[3]

Siberian Blizzard[]

In 2024, the Rotunda of Gateways opened one of its doors to Siberia during a blizzard. The blizzard then came through into the New York Sanctum before Doctor Strange or Wong could close the door, covering the Sanctum in a snowfall.[4]

Capabilities[]

The Rotunda of Gateways functions as mystical portals, allowing instant access to different locations around the world. These doors are manipulable through magic and can be adjusted to connect to any place or dimension, making them a versatile tool for sorcerers.

Each door appears to be linked to a specific area, such as deserts, forests, or mountainous regions, but their destination can be altered as needed. This makes them an important strategic resource, enabling the user to travel quickly between different parts of the planet or even to alternate dimensions. The doors also serve as an additional defense for the Sanctum, as they can be used to isolate or expel enemies to remote or dangerous areas.
