Conveyors take you to the same location in a different world, and using a projector doesn't change that (B530, B531). Jumper is the same (B64).

But Yrth has radically different geography. Ytarria in is the northern hemisphere and about 3,000 miles across east-west (Banestorm, p4). This does not all cover all of the areas on Earth from which banestorms have brought people to Yrth.

So either the geographical correspondence doesn't apply when travelling to Yrth, or a banestorm can relocate its passengers radically, or both. Either is plausible. Lack of geographical correspondence is an extra problem in cross-world physics, but means deliberate travellers to Yrth probably don't end up in the sea hundreds of miles from land.

Any opinions?
