...or why what
you see isn't always what you get.
Especially
in the districts of cities where real estate is very spendy, those wishing
to open a new store or expand on an existing store have chosen to create
gateways to places elsewhere, whether in another dimension or just linking
to somewhere else in JERA where land is much cheaper. It is the best
of both worlds, where you shop in the city with rates that are indicative
of lower overhead. The MOD
Shop uses this technique to put a minimall in a very small space.
The Grunburg
military has begun to use this technique to house their garrisons in
quarters with doorways to many parts of Asterland, making deployment
quick and reducing the numbers of men they need to keep the peace throughout
their borderlands.
The early
portals linking Grunburg and Alexander served as prototypes that enabled
this magic through government funded research.
