Description[edit | edit source]

A Gateway is a structure that connects to a portal system that is made by placing a three Stone Bricks in a line (Stone Brick, Chiseled Stone Brick, Stone Brick) then three Stone Bricks on each end with Stone Brick Stairs on the top facing out with the Keystone Receptacle in between the stairs.

A Gateway must be powered with Raw Essence before it will work. A Gateway that does not have enough essence to function will activate, however stepping across the threshold will deposit the user in the same Gateway. A fully charged Gateway will hold 250,000 Essence.

Uses[edit | edit source]

Gateways are defaulted to the "Open" gateway network meaning that any Gateway and anyone can access it. A specific gateway network can be assigned to the Gateway by placing a Keystone in the Keystone Receptacle. There can be as many different networks as there are Keystones. In short, the keystone (or lack thereof) in your hand determines where you can go, and the keystone in the gateway (or lack thereof) determines who can arrive.

Gateways A, B and C are on an open network. Gateway D contains a Keystone with a Rune arrangement. Any person who activates and enters A, B or C will travel to the next in order. They will not be able to exit Gateway D. Anyone who enters gateway D will appear in gateway A, B, or C. Anyone who activates a gateway with a Keystone that matches the Keystone Receptacle in gateway D will travel to gateway D.
