N-Dimensional Travel is a site-to-site teleportation system invented during the Fourth Age and used in the Altronis rebellion. Its invention is generally credited to Marcus Ransom, son of Pendragon Andrei Ransom; but was likely developed at Gudersnipe School.

The exact nature and operation of the technology is highly classified; but it is theorized to work on a principle similar to a starship FTL drive. The devices used by Ransom's revolutionaries were said to be man-portable and even wearable, while allowing the user to travel over great distances undetectably.

After the revolution and the reforms on Altronis, Marcus Ransom had all the devices destroyed for unstated reasons. Many technologists theorized that if the equipment did work like an FTL drive, use inside a planet's gravitation could have been either exceedingly dangerous or possibly caused irreparable damage to the wearer.
