      That would be fun.

      But we'd need another teleport system for when moon gates aren't reliable :)

      Obviously different destinations, though.

      The reason is that (currently) navigation in bigworld sucks bad, and

Maybe we (the characters) need a better means of navigation, like a
sextant? This could be a device that, when applied, tells the estimated
position relative to Scorn centre.
Then the players could use a book to remember positions where they've
been before, e. g. where the entry to the dungeon was on the world map.
This would only be working in the world maps of course. And maybe only
if the weather is good enough to see the sky.
