Congratulations to @viking-ventures for her winning entry to the recent Dream City Builder contest. You can find her entry with the following link.
This enthusiastic response fueled enough mojo to open a portal from Terreden to Riccoli high up in the sky. A balloon ferry terminal was built and diplomatic relationship have now been established between both worlds. A legion of automatons are now hard at work with engineers from Irola to build a mega-structure as a cultural gift to the city. What these Irola citizens expect in return is unclear.
Interestingly enough a river has appeared along with this multi-dimensional bridge so Riccolians were hard pressed to build an actual bridge if they were to visit their ancestors in Haunted Manor O’Lan. Seriously, with that manor, who needs a cemetery?
Another amazing new cite is the Earth Ship Hotel. Built with the future in mind, this brand new ecological dwelling is mostly underground but skylights allow natural light to penetrate in all areas. Made almost exclusively from recycled material, you can expect workshops and seminars on permaculture, yoga and brewing kombucha amongst many other subjects.
The portal is quickly turning into a touristic attraction and has been welcome by the Tombola community which inhabits the circular houses. They see it as part of a proffecy leading to the enlightenment of all citizens and are prominently the ones who have visited Irola so far.
Many are annoyed to see the Tombola using this event to seize even more power in the city and are worried that the mega-structure might render the town unrecognizable. The Irola diplomats have convinced them of their good will but some remain suspicious regardless, especially the seniors community who see the arrival as outlandish.

I hope the citizens of Riccoli are able to handle suddenly arriving at the (literal) top of a 100,000,000 megapolis that is Irola...
It could be rather a shock to them!
Of course, the purpose of the Guardians placing portals has always been (at least in part) to encourage a healthy swapping of genetics between worlds... And usually those who stumble through are "orphans" whose lives on Earth have been less than promising. You will get to find out about two such "orphans" in September/October, I am guessing Brighid's Blood will begin. Another one will turn up after the new year in Taurian's tale.
But Irola is such a great place that more frequent exchanges might go (mostly) unnoticed - except that the Guardians always notice... especially after the mistake made that caused the loss of the Sacred Trio, the ensuing destruction of Velantia and the expulsion of the first A'mara from that island... But that story has not yet been told - even to me.

It is a shock to me as well, I hope Riccolians don’t suffer from vertigo. Very interesting what you said about the gardian’s role in opening and closing portals. Thank you for your worlds of wisdom.
