Universe City

A Universe City is a class of city that is large enough to merit and support an interplanar port. This port guides and regulates interplanar travel such as Teleportation. (While Teleport cannot provide interplanar travel, all teleportation spells access the Astral Plane.) As many such spells confer a massive margin of error, the interplanar port serves as a fixed target location. These interplanar ports are monitored, thus making it difficult for someone to sneak into a city by a teleportation spell. (Yes?)
The interplanar port must be constructed so that there is a location that can physically receive anyone transported by a teleportation spell. The interplanar port is effectively powered by the collective consciousnesses of the citizens of the city. If the city has a large enough population, the collective consciousnesses creates a sort of beacon. Some places have the population but not the structure, and vice versa.
Gruumsh One-Eye may be related to Universe Cities somehow. There were five doors labeled with deities in the Ruins of Eldergrin; Gruumsh's had the letters YTICESREVINU written on it.
==Functional Universe Cities==
*Malvont City, serving the Malvont Metropolitan Area.
*Nyasa City, serving the Nyasa Civilization.
*Baldur City, serving Baldur. During the Revolution of 1441, Baldur dropped below the population required to keep the port open. In early 1444, the city opened again.
*Goneril City, serving the Strand of Orc, is a Universe City, but highly restricted. It only serves the Prime Material Plane.
*Barrensburg City, serving southern Goneril, is also highly restricted. It only takes transports from Malvont and Goneril.
==Defunct Universe Cities==
*Eldergrin is now abandoned and in ruins, and thus has neither the population nor the structure to support an interplanar port.
==Speculated Universe Cities==
*There may be a Universe City somewhere in Goneril, but the country is so large that any one city may not have the population to support it. In Season Fourteen, Barron Ganth confirmed that Goneril has two Universe Cities.
*Ravinia was likely a Universe City at some point, and may still be -- no one knows if the Harmonians are still there. Well, the Dread Pirate Lucy knows, but he hasn't shared with the class.
