Dreamlands Travel Permit "Your papers are in order. Safe travels!"

4
Requires Veteran
This Artifact grants you the power to change your location without traveling the distance between.
Used by Minerva McAlaster, Created by Polymorph.
( You must obviously use this Artifact to activate this Effect. When activating this Effect, this Artifact is obviously Alien and cannot be concealed under your clothes or similar.)

This Travel Permit bears the signature of the Queen of the Dreamlands and entitles the barer to transit via the paths there. They hold the permit close to their chest, and close their eyes, doing their best to sleep. After a minute, they - and anyone else touching them - collapse into shimmering dreamdust, forming in the Travel Plaza in the Dreamlands. Alternatively, from there, they may take any of the paths to... anywhere, really. The Dreamlands touches everything.

--------------------------
The Travel Plaza in the Dreamlands is an expansive area, consisting of a large plaza with mirrors around the outside. These mirrors reflect various things in various worlds. Above the sky looks like a large nebula, roiling with purples and reds and yellows. Around the plaza is the Chaos Sea, made of mercury that reflects the lights from above. It rolls with soft waves. The wind is sweet.

A path leads from the Plaza to a city wall in the distance. Behind it is a large castle, a shining beacon. The path is guarded by a pair of anthropomorphic men in what appear to be civil war era uniforms. They carry weapons made of light.

The castle in the distance has high walls, made of a stone that glows softly. Inside of the walls is a small city, built around the castle proper.

Notes:
Items cannot be removed from the Dreamlands without other gifts - they collapse into dreamstuff when coming out.
The Chaos Sea will consume anything placed inside its heavy waters
Leaving 'mapped areas' is very unsafe, and easily leads to being lost in a constantly shifting haze from which escape is very difficult.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. If you are at The Travel Plaza in Minerva's Castle in the Dreamlands, you may choose a target Location which you can perceive and pinpoint in some way - through sight, GPS coordinates, etc; otherwise, your target may only be The Travel Plaza in Minerva's Castle in the Dreamlands.

You are transported directly to the chosen Location. Anyone who is touching you as you Travel will be brought along with you. You must wait 1 full Round before activating this Effect again.

  • Traveling through a sense other than sight does not guarantee a safe landing; traveling purely by GPS to the top of a mountain which had been forecast to undergo volcanic activity, for example, may not be a wise move.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
