Warp gate
From The Heretic Knowledge Vault
A magical method of instantaneous transportation. Warp gates can transfer people and whiny flying cats to other warp gates for only a modest ticket price. Warp gate travel is not recommended for those with heart conditions or pregnant women, and is rumored to have a chance (0.3%) to cause sterility. It's also possible to have side effects if using a warp gate with alcohol in one's system. To use a warp gate, one must buy, or otherwise obtain, a Travel rune.
Warp gates, as far as we know, are confined to human territory. The elves had travel platforms in the Good Old Days that seem to serve a similar purpose, but we don't know much about them.
Jon is seriously freaked out over use of warp gates, while the other primary characters just go traipsing through them as though they're airport terminals.

- This strip seems to indicate that Warp gates and Travel platforms are the same technology, with the only difference being that Elven Travel Platforms are automated in some way, while Tsuirakuan Warp Gates are operated manually, by Tsuirakuan mages.
