Aetherite transporter in Garlemald

[Enkidoh]

The Empire does have a more limited magiteknical equivelant of teleportation in the form of the transporter rings seen in many Castri (such as the one in Cape Westwind that leads to the off-shore Castrum Marinum - this is the whole reason we attacked that base in Operation Archon; not just to eliminate Rhitahtyn but also to shut off the transporter gate and thus prevent troops being sent from the Castrum to the mainland through it as reinforcements. Which we accomplish when Rhitahtyn is defeated - he's sent flying backwards and his body hits the device with such force the ring is damaged and effectively destroyed, hence why it starts sparking and arcing afterwards. Killing two birds with one stone pretty much).

These are linked via a cable however and have set locations for departure and destination, so they're far more limited than aetherial teleportation. So it's likely within Garlemald itself a more advanced teleportation system exists as an equivelant to aetherytes.
