Looking closely at the Infinite Worlds book, I see a few more details on specific nexus portals, though they're still pretty sparse:

IW37: A nexus portal was used to access Rustic, a wordline where conveyors (among other technology) don't work. Unclear if it's a direct Homeline-Rustic link or an indirect route was used.
IW76: Shroud of Turin on Ariane (where 99.9% of the population was killed of by a pandemic) associated with frequent nexus portals to first-century Jerusalem.
IW136: Mandeville (a myth parallel) is mentioned as having "many nexus portals".

One other thing: am I right that spell-based world-jumpers basically have no reason to care what quantum a world is on? Seems like a huge advantage, even relative to characters with Jumper (World), since that takes a -5 penalty per quantum of separation.
