To solve the problem of signs for the portals without having to create additional files beyond the main .esp file, I used indicators (glowing orbs in this case) which display the portal destination when the player approaches the orb next to the portal. Not quite as good as a nice big sign, but I truly hated to clutter up the mod with additional .nif and .dds files. And the orbs sort of look nice and give a little bit of decorum to the terminus buildings.
I am now working on an update. There will be an activator in each terminus which will direct the player to the portal of his choice. And the nagging dialogue is now disabled after all the portals are enabled.
Adding actual signs for the portals would have meant creating .dds and .nif files in addition to the .esp. file. I sort of wanted to keep this to one .esp file for simplicity.
For anyone wanting to simply enable the normal fast travel. Just open the construction set (make sure u have set up an instance of the construction set for Nehrim). Load the "Nehrim.esm" (wait for it to load and click "yes to all" for the error message) Then click on the "World" tab. Choose "World Spaces". Highlight "NehrimWorldspace" and untick the box next to "Can't Fast Travel From Here" Save the plugin with whatever name u want (click the little floppydisk icon). Close the construction set and start the game. In the data area of the launcher enable the plugin u just made. (Make sure this plugin loads last).
U can enable the fast travle in some of the other worldspaces also if u want.
I would recommend this mod to any Nehrim players who miss the convenience of fast travel. I have tried the other fast travel mods with little success. Most either didn't work at all or worked for a short time then stopped working. The house is a nice bonus.
If the mod is revised, a couple of additions I would like to see are a few more portals and some signs by the terminus doors to more specifically identify the locations they access.
Thanks to everyone who emailled me with comments and discovered errors.
The update V. 1.1 fixes some of them. (I'm sorry SoloPlayer, it doesn't fix yours yet. I had the fixed file already prepared before I read your comment. Next fix I will address this though.)
The dialogue does not replace or interrupt any other dialogue. It just is included in the list of random dialogue given to NPCs.
And yes (sadly) it does continue...even after you have found all the portals.
I will see if I can't play with this a little to make it less annoying or restrict it somehow. And I agree, it IS annoying, even for me...my apologies.
I think this will be a must have for Nehrim. I will try it soon since I plan on playing it again Awesome idea and description by the way and thank you for sharing.

i found the snow witch, but she has none of your dialogues.

That seems heavy handed.
Does this continue after I go to this tower? Is this interrupting other possible dialogue?
Go to the desk in Andrew's house and there is a key for them.
If u read the book about crystals, termini, and Andrew it tells u where the key is. It also tells where all the terminus portals are too.
