This is just me writing, I'm not going to make it all pretty, however it comes out is how it'll be. This will almost definitely not follow any sort of format

Teleportation and You
There are three known nexuses used for teleportation and numerous ways to use them. The three known nexuses are, in order of ease of forming a matrix to connect through it, abyssal space, the void, and the associated plane's moon. The reasons for the difficulties are not fully understood and a number of potential reasons have been presented for the various nexuses. The most popular theories for the void include it's extreme distance, inherent destructive nature, and proximity to the core of the infernal realms, which is believed to be situated in the void itself. Using a moon as a nexus raises the opposite issues, in this regard; it is often extremely close, in relativistic terms, to the plane and difficult to focus a matrix through it. Lunar matrices are also often more unstable than void-based matrices, due to the weak resonance of all known lunar bodies.

For intra-planar use, abyssal space is most often used to facilitate transportation, the widely used Lodestone network is based on this nexus. Lunar matrices are exclusively limited to intra-planar use, due again to the difficulty to focus a matrix through it and it's incredibly weak resonance. Unlike lunar matrices, however abyssal matrices can be used to focus inter-planar matrices. For the most stable inter-planar matrices, it is highly reccomended that the void is used. Most any established matrix through the void will continue to function indefinitely, with few known exceptions.

Teleportation is most often prevented by sealing off connections from the areas to one or more of these nexuses. This can be counteracted by establishing a secured connection to the nexus of your choice, most often by weaving an enchantment into a crystal, most often a valuable gem, to create a liminal bridge, connecting it's location to the nexus. There are no known ways to create a stable liminal bridge, all such bridges are proned to degradation, most likely due to the stress of bridging two disparate planes together through a singular focus. There has been no known research into the use of multiple foci to create stable liminal bridges.

Abyssal

 * Standard teleportation
 * most teleportations sealed in jewelry/tablets
 * Lodestones
 * Entering pocket dimensions from outside its true entrance

Lunar

 * Moonclan teleportation
 * Possibly Elven teleportation

Void

 * Fairy Rings
 * World Gate
 * Demonic Summoning
