As a traveler, Porteek visited as far south as Yammoe. He has sections in volume II, dedicated to [[Gantolia]], but it is not clear whether he has ever been there. Due to his extensive travels, intimate acquaintance with various cultures and proficiency in several forms of [[bukk|asdoh]], it is not exactly clear where he was born, but it is generally assumed that he was from somewhere in Asdoh. The spelling of his last name, as well as his ability to travel, gives away his noble background: he was clearly a wealthy individual. | As a traveler, Porteek visited as far south as Yammoe.
