Nether Manipulation

Overview
Nether manipulation is a process that was initially discovered by the Rajjuulk during the early days just after their arrival in rathnir. It was discovered to have similar properties to a realm that they were more used to in which held certain consistencies. From travel through each realm that would equate to more distance covered in real space compared to within the realms, to the ability to manipulate the space and dimension itself in a churning formation to use in power generation and warfare. The Nether would remind them of home and give them hope of finally returning. In time they would nearly master the nether and its aspects before they're disappearance from rathnir roughly 2000 years ago. The Nether would be rediscovered as a valuable resource that would be constantly experimented on within recent years by their predecessors, the Raajjyn and would be the foundation of science for modern nether research and machinery.

Nether Properties
The nether has a multitude of different laws and properties which allows it to be utilized in industrial means of projects and scientific experimentation by modern day Raajjyn scholars. Archeological dig sites across Rathnir has allowed for better utilization of its aspects in mining, military, and power generation that might propel the tribes into a new era.

Emissions
Emissions are a sort of physical like force that interacts and radiates from nether portals. Its a sort of burning sensation akin to that of cooking food within a Dutch oven but within a general vicinity. Though normally you won't feel any sort of pain or burning sensation around most nether portal, large ones and numerous portals in a closed area and contribute to Emissions poisoning and burns. Something that has been highly debated, however, is the exact nature and origin of these emissions. Scholars believe that these emissions are the cause of the nether naturally churning itself and rubbing up against the overworld via a sort of trans-realm friction which causes this insufferable heat and violent frequencies. Speaking of frequencies, nether portals all of their own designated frequency that is unique to them, it is believed that this is for the same reason that emissions are believed to emanate from portals via the same friction. Emission frequencies are often used by scholars when navigating the nether to determine their location rather than using landmarks for self mapping.

In recent years it has been found that emissions can be blocked or rather absorbed by thick clothing to some degree. In the early days of nether research it was often that work around portals and machinery would be swift and in sometimes carless leading to a large deal of casualties from the hardware. Though not all would die from these invisible rays. Only 3 have so far lived after being blasted with emissions, one of which currently works on the nether reactor located within one of The Grey Banner's science and archeological bastions.

Nether Churning
The process of nether churning is the utilization of portal vortexes proceeded in their portal state as swirling liquid. It was found that the nether self churns itself and when two portals are aligned and with the aid of trans-realm support structures the violent conjuration of partial man made portal churns is possible. This churning can be used in a number of ways, but is currently used to create and siphon nether portal into a solidified state otherwise known as a nether crystal. Nether Crystals are the solid viscous form of nether portal that is used to store emissions and power generated from more advanced forms of curation. Initially these crystals start off as rather unrefined but with the utilization of proper storage containers and the introduction of heat via lava one can slowly refine nether crystal into a more stable and energy efficient state. Nether crystals are used in nether reactors which are in turn used for the generation of power within many science bastions. Nether churning as of late is not fully understood but what is known is that with the utilization of basalt tubing and venting (The introduction of basalt into the machine to allow for proper filter nether exhaust) allows for machinery that uses nether churning to run more reliably.
