Legion Lore: The Causeways

In ancient days, Legion mages built the Causeways to allow quick passage from one part of the kingdom to another. Though all legionnaires are permitted to enter the Causeways, only a few are granted the ability to open and close the gates. Even fewer know how to construct them.
The art of fabricating Causeways is thought to have originated in the Empire of Stars. By the time of the Empire's fall, each of the Imperial Legions had its own complicated network of Causeways, which they used to their advantage during the terrible War of Legions. Entire armies would move from one side of the Empire to another, in the space of a night, and it was impossible to predict where the next battle might occur. This led to absolute chaos, and ultimately to the dissolution of the Empire. The 10th Legion may originally have withdrawn to Ehb because this kingdom was, at the time, a backwater, and no enemy Causeways extended so far from the Imperial heartland.
The Causeways pass through another world - though its name is long forgotten. Nor does anyone remember how that world was first discovered or what relationship it may have to our own
