General
Portal stones are cylinder in shape and covered in symbols and characters. They are used to travel by someone using the One Power. By channeling into a certain symbol you can travel to another stone with corresponding symbols in this world and also other worlds. And possibly time travel as well. They were believed to have been made in the first age with the One Power. They cannot be moved as there is some force holding them in place.
In the Great Hunt Rand and some members of his party disappear while sleeping next to a Portal Stone and wake up next to a different one in another world. Where Loial remembers seeing a similar stone in an old book with the caption "From Stone to Stone run the lines of 'if,' between the worlds that might be." (TGH, Ch. 13). Rand later uses a Portal Stone and accidentally ends up four months into the future (TGH, Ch. 37).
