It is said none have done it in 150 years. It is said to be a madman’s dream It has been said to be impossible.

Since when have we let that stop us?

It has been a problem of coordination, it has been a problem of cooperation. People working in isolation have failed, together, we can succeed. Together we will succeed.

On top of that, food production is not high enough in sanctuary that individuals can survive and not starve- this allows more creative loafing, for example, escaping back to the surface.

All mages and scholars are invited to immediately join in the effort to return to the surface. We will begin to meet regularly to decide which area our efforts will most likely reward our efforts. Inter-planar shunting will likely prove the most reliable method and in the extremely unlikely chance an expert on inter-planar shunting is in Sanctuary, we are extremely eager to hear what you have to contribute.

Once a method is found, order of transport will be based on the order in which you joined into the effort and weighted with your contribution.

To others who wish to contribute. While this is primarily the work of learned men, others who wish to contribute are welcome and you will also be given preferential placement when the method of transport to the surface is discovered. We will find a use for anyone interested in contributing.

A rough, optimistic estimate for completion of the effort would be six months, a pessimistic one, two years-it will likely lay someplace in between the two.
