Slip Gates
Utility
A slip gate if correctly activated can open a gate between paired gates across great distances by connecting the two points across the Astral Plane through teleportation magic.
Manufacturing
While the exact method of producing a slip gate has been lost to time, researchers in Mimir believe that by carving a runic code into magically charged stones that are then enchanted with the various teleportation spells necessary a gate can be created thus linking two gates with the same runic code carved into them.
Access & Availability
The true number of slip gates is a mystery, at least one gate has been found in secluded regions of the realms territories with many believing it to be hidden in ruins unexplored. Only one pair of slip gates is known, residing in the floating city of Mimir one side of a slip gate resides there that connects to another gate in a former ruin turned business near the Capital City of Sanctum in the Holy Kingdom of Solrune.
Complexity
The construction of these ancient gates is highly mysterious and nearly impossible to replicate due to the complex layering of spells in the gates themselves. To date, no one has been able to perfectly replicate a slip gate often resulting in accidental teleportation or worse. A major part of the complexity surrounding slip gates is the runic language that explains their operation and activation of the gates and It has only been in recent years that significant progress has been made in deciphering the language of the gates.
Discovery
First discovered by an old researcher from Mimir during the infant years of the floating city the runestones were found in an ancient ruin from an unknown group many years in the past, the researcher while confused about the artifacts' true purpose recognized the complexity of the gate and the secrets it held and brought it back to Mimir to be researched where it would remain to the present day.
