Jaxon was a genius mage surrounded by dragons, and he had accepted that any concept more advanced than 'fire bad' required a full puppet show and pictures.
"I'll make this simple because I can see Ryker's eyes glazing over. Portals need anchors. Velkaris has anchors. Nyros does not. We can't portal to a continent that never bothered to install the plumbing."

Brennan raised his hand like a student who'd been waiting for the teacher to finish being wrong.
Every mage in the room looked at Brennan's hand and then immediately looked at Jaxon to watch the reaction.
Jaxon closed his eyes for one second before answering. "Yes, Brennan?"
Every head turned towards Brennan.
"There's no need. I created an anchor point in Shadowfell already."
Jaxon's eye twitched. "You what."
