The Star Gate Sky Island was a massive island floating above a sea of clouds, with a diameter exceeding thirty kilometers. It was the central hub of the Gate of Truth.
On the flat, black stone ground, over a thousand arched Star Gates, each a hundred meters tall, stood in neat rows, their shifting halos of light a dazzling, colorful display.
The Rune indicator signs atop most of the Star Gates shone with a steady light, each one pointing to a large material Plane.
Dozens of other, slightly smaller Star Gates were dormant, the Runes on their frames shifting like flowing water as they awaited the input of mission coordinates.
Allen approached an unoccupied Star Gate and touched his insignia to a Rune device on it.
The Rune Array of the waiting Star Gate flared to life, its intricate script beginning to spin and reassemble at high speed.
A few seconds later, the light stabilized. A new line of standard Wizard script appeared on the lintel: [Target Plane: 867].
