Description
A means of instantaneous transportation unique to elves, dating back to their glory days and equivalent in function if not design to the modern, human Warp gate. We apparently see one here. It has a vaguely druidic/Stonehengeish look to it.
Where Used
- Interestingly, when Sarine uses it to pop back into Praenubilus Astu to report on what's happened with Anilis, she says (in one of those little bits of internal dialogue that people have with themselves for purposes of plot advancement) that she arrives at a warp gate, not a travel platform. Needless to say, she has all sorts of negative comments about elven paranoia that causes such a thing to be stationed out in the boonies, but that's just Sarine being Sarine.
- The existence of elven travel platforms isn't well known to humans, although Ian surmises that something warp-gate-like existed at the time of the Lorenzel Excavations, but wasn't recognized as such by the archaeologists. Whether the weird construct that transports our heroes off to their encounter with Nookie, Kawaii and Anilis is a standard travel platform is unclear, bur Sarine doesn't think so, and she should know. Instead she thinks it's some kind of "portal," whatever that is.
- According to the Elven Council, some of the platforms were on a "separate, private network that was made for travel between a few secure, hidden locations." It was the construction of one of these that tipped the elves off to the existence of the Giant Magic Potato, which they call the "bubble" for some inscrutable elvish reason. We don't know what any of the other platforms on the "private network" do, but hey, Senilis hasn't put in an appearance yet...
