Second test at designing a land that has the feel of a portal.
You're good at unpronounceable names, I'll definitely give you that.
Es(like the "es" sound in president)-zvyx(zv sound is like Svedka, so zvyx rhymes with nyx) Alt (as in the abbreviation of alternate) Y'(short y consonant sound. The apostrophe is there to separate that sound from rolling into the following vowel) ean (hard ee sound like in feed, an has a soft "ah" so that it ends up sounding similar to eon].
The plane this would come from is something I want as far removed as possible from having any real world influence, fictional or otherwise, when it comes to world-building. To show that, especially without art is a challenge, so this this portal, as opposed to my previous one, was given a name that doesn't assume any influence to its origin.
The name actually is highly reminiscent of stereotypical fantasy names of the sort that might be made fun of. The multiple consonants in a row, the dash, and the apostrophe all contribute to that.
