Karl thought about the options that he could offer them for a few seconds, then laid out a plan that he hoped would make them happy, and the Darklight Host very rich.
I am willing to link a portal array to the portals in your home cities, and allow passage for a nominal fee. If we have to open the portal, we collect, if you open the portal, you collect. We will set the fee in a contract, so there is no question about who gets through and for how much.
Exemptions for Elders of the signatory Clan, of course.
Presently, there is nothing even resembling a regional portal network, which is a travesty. Perhaps it's due to a lack of maintenance, as I have seen signs that there was a more robust magical presence here in the past.
But that's not the point.
