what's the situation like on swapping factions? has anyone ever done it before? on the scale of "monkeys can do it" to "basically reinventing space travel" what are we talking about in terms of difficulty? optimism is very appreciated.

Thorne to anywhere's hard. Like tryin' to escape from North Korea.

Other than the peace summit? There was when those guys opened the portals initially. The only other way is expensive, illegal, risky, and honestly I don't even know if it's possible anymore.

i'm poor :(
i thought i could just walk there. like, it would take a long time, but.
well, that was the extent of my plan.

The borders all have wards on them, from both sides. You need portals. Untracked portals. Very pricey. Took months and months and a lotta luck to save up the gold.

Also, I don't even know if it's possible anymore. Things have changed in Thorne. There are eyes where there didn't used to be, now.

can anyone learn how to do portals?
i mean. we can learn to do all kindsa crazy things. surely it can't be That outside the realm of possibility, right?

also yuck i hate that. creeps.

I'm gonna go ahead and guess that the wardens in Thorne have taken extra special care to make sure y'all can't learn how to portal. The rules in Solvunn and here in the Cities ain't exactly as clear cut, but I suspect they wouldn't much like it if we figured it out either.

[ In Solvunn, it would probably be considered subversion of the old gods, warranting exile. In the Cities, she's not sure if there's even a way to learn outside of specialized, highly regulated classes, and defection might very well lead to another attack on the other factions. ]

Based on how few people seem to be able to do it, it seems harder than most things. If it was easy, it wouldn't cost so much on the black market. Hell, even a legit portal ticket between cities runs high.
