Missing Portal Coordinates in The Avernum Trilogy

I've played through the whole game, and I seem to be missing a set of coordinates.

IMAGE(http://www.shadowvale.net/avernum/portal.jpg)

Does anyone know where the missing coordinates can be found and where they lead to?

Edit: In case you can't tell (If you can't you have no business answering this question :P ), this is A2.

This is true, but Easter's place on the calendar actually does make sense. I mean, the Last Supper happened during Passover, so putting Easter near Passover is historically sound.

First off, Aran is not a mod in the Nethergate forum.

Secondly, Jeff's post added pertinent information, so it was a legitimate revival.

That always struck me as strange. I mean, many fantasy settings have dark Paladins, including Wizards' own Dragonlance, which is based off D&D. I understand why a Paladin would need to be Lawful, and I can also see why they might not be Neutral, but there should be Evil Paladins.

Valorim is a made-up world, and there is now way for me to know these things (and for some reason, Avernum doesn't interests me to the extent that i would actively search for information). Aside from that, I went over the road, which is the least dangerous way to go. For the rest I have just no idea what the environment is like, so I can't possibly really know what will take long, and what not.
First off, Thralni, the world is Ermarian. Valorim is only a continent in Ermarian. Also, The Encylcopedia Ermariana has most of the information you need about Ermarian, including
how hard it is to cross the Ndovlu mountains.

You Are A:

Chaotic Evil Half-Orc Barbarian

Race:
Half-Orcs are often brutish and mean creatures, unaccepted by both thier heritages. They are little better than orcs. But some can be clever and successful in the society of adventurers

Primary Class:
Barbarians live outside the 'civilized' They have tribal goverments, and are often nomads. What they may lack in refinement is balanced by there strength of individual character and ability to survive.

Secondary Class:

In Avernum 2, there is a secret passage outdoors near Erika's tower. You'll have to fight some efreeti, but at the very end, the words Easter Egg appear in the message log. After you do this, return to the Tower of Magi and go to the portal room. The button on the bottom with no label beside it will take you to a special Easter Egg area.

Edit: Bomber beat me to it. Curse you, Bomber!

For the record, that chat is visible from Google because it was linked in the database for a long time before I took it down due to its inflammatory nature. Of course, Google can find it. It found it when I still had link on the database. All unlinked chats that have never been linked are safe.

I have changed the name of that chat. It is to be made available by request only (PMs, not on the boards please). My policy for unlinked chats is that unless you were a participant in said chat, the log is off-limits. The unlinked chats are unlinked for a reason. :P

Edit: There are about 20 or so chats that do not show up on the Google search that Aran linked. That is because these chats have never been linked. Therefore, I was right when I said that the private chats will remain so.

Also, I remember linking that chat from these boards a while back, so Google could very well have indexed it via that. It does not matter now though, as the log has been renamed.

The combat mode thing is well-known. I've used it for Nethergate, the trilogy, and BoA. I'm not sure if it works in the Exile or Geneforge engines or not. If you do it the right way, you can even get into the room in the back of Erika's tower. I've also been known to push barrels and crates around. It's a shame you can't do it with chests. Also, pushing crates around is hazardous if you're anywhere near water.
