Nexuses

Nexuses are specific points in a Verse that connect to a different Verse, sometimes allowing for transversal travel. Typically, a nexus is active for as long as the connection between Verses is maintained. Connections are most likely self-maintaining, but others are unstable, only allowing travel during certain times of the year when a certain element's power is at its zenith. The transversal properties of nexuses were only discovered approximately one thousand years ago by a certain TempoMajus who also discovered the Hub. In fact, it was only because of this person that the Multiverse as we know it is as connected as it is. The first nexus to be used for transversal travel can be found just off the shore of an island town in the TempoVerse, which celebrates the TempoMajus' achievements every ten years. Since the Connection, there have been found several ways of increasing accuracy and stability in transversal travel, including confining an entire nexus within a large glowing portal bordered by precious materials which originate from the Verse it connects to, serving as an anchor.

Manifestation

Nexuses are sometimes seen as small areas of glowing light, though others are more physically present, occurring naturally in the world or seemingly twisting the surrounding area. Additionally, the way one perceives the actual process of transversal travel depends on the specific nexus.

Localization

An important thing to know when travelling throughout the Multiverse is that each elemental Verse only connects to two other elemental Verses and the Hub. The Verses each elemental Verse connects to is depicted by the Verse's position in the Celestial Pentagon. The two elemental Verses directly adjacent to the Verse in question and the Hub in the center are the Verses one can travel to using one of the nexuses in that Verse.
