So, here it is: if sorcery was limited before the Interregnum( limited, that is, as compared to after the ascension of Zerika the Fourth) in such a way as to require citizens to travel by foot or horse or wagon or what have you, and it was common for Dragonlords of the e'Drien line to have floating castles, how would one get from the ground to said castle and back again? Once again, I may be wrong but I was under the impression that teleportation was a relatively new skill, even for the likes of Sethra Lavode. > > > >Rope ladders. I find your eloquent, though brief, explanation more plausible than you might have thought. All other transportation thus far, before the return of the orb, and as well before the Interregnum, with certain extreme circumstances aside, was manual, that is to say without the use of sorcery.
