A Teleportal is a quasi-mystical gateway that
will transport creatures/objects to some predestined location. They
start out as seeds and are planted in an ornate vessel (urn, pot,
jar) filled with transdimensional peat. As the seedling grows (in
4-16 weeks) the destination, in the form of Quadranulic Muttering
must be whispered to the plant for one Gar-nuta each day. Once
matured the Teleportal springs from the vessel in an ornate spiral of
micro-rune text addresses, about 8 feet tall and 6 feet in diameter.
These characters slowly emanate from the soil and travel around the
spiral until they disappear in the destination vortex in the center.
Those studied in the art can look at the info stream and make an
informed guess as to where the portal might lead. Teleportals can
transport anyone/thing that enters in the vortex to the preset target
destination. This happens as soon as the creature/object comes into
contact with the center of the spiral. The player will be pulled
into the ether and for one Nano-instant have their molecules
stretched between both nodes. A Na-nuta later, their atoms are
recombined at the target destination. There is a .001% chance that
objects passing through are assembled backwards. Note, objects
larger than the TP dimensions are affected, they are condensed as
they are sucked in. Some teleportals simply purge their travelers at
a preset destination out of thin air, others are connected to another
Teleportal allowing two way travel.
