Oh, and I realize I never finished my post about how the RP starts - so we are all arriving at Hub City from whatever planes we are coming from, and we've been told to gather at Port Zone S-9, which is reserved only for Qrowdell Academy students and faculty. There is an airport-like building with a large seating area, and all the freshmen are gathering there in early August 2023 to go to Orientation at the Academy. The school's Creature Keeper - who happens to be the Headmaster's son - is the one arriving to escort the freshmen to Feywood Valley via Pegasus-drawn carriages that hold 12 people each. Different types of portals are used by different methods, but there is a specific way people get to Feywood Valley. 

The Pegasuses are trained to navigate wormhole-like tunnel portals, similar to transport in TERA but without the circular structure. In this case, the Keeper will fling out a tiny energy wisp that then grows into a giant glowing circular portal, which the Pegasuses then fly through, pulling the carriages along behind them like Santa's sleigh. To give you an idea of that visually if you've never seen or played TERA, here's a clip. As said, just imagine there is no metal structure, the portal just opens in mid air.
