Gate

A gate, also known as a Hurmu gate, named after the Hurmu Gate of yore, is a type of near-instantaneous transport between two points in space-time. Originally used by the Grand Commonwealth for transport between Micras (Hurmu) and Giess (to/from Hurmu's colony there), it was also used by Safiria during the Safirian occupation of Hurmu. Since the 1690s, however, the gate technology is only used for transport between points on Micras.

In Hurmu's native language, these gates are referred to as bryggjor ("bridges"), which probably is a more apt description of their function.
