The Tenser Transit System, or TTS, is a system of transportation in the city of Imor. The TTS incorporates the wizard spell Tenser's Floating Disc. The discs typically seat four people (three passengers and one "driver"), but the vehicles can be "connected" to accommodate larger groups with proper arrangements.
When in use, the disks hover about two and a half feet above the ground and move about five miles per hour at the mental command of its driver. When a disk arrives at a stop, it lowers to the ground to allow the passengers to disembark. They travel around the outside of The BountyPlace and other routes are positioned throughout the city.
At the end of the day, the discs are disconnected and a handle at the front of each is lowered and as it drops into the disc itself, the disc shrinks to a more portable size.
Two-person discs are furnished to public servants of the city and are colored according to their profession.
Personal discs owned by the citizens of Imor work in much the same way as those of the TTS and are bound by the same rules of usage. However, when not in use, these models can be shrunken to a size small enough to fit into a bag that can be easily carried. Personal models can be customized in appearance from the basic silver-gray model used by the TTS.
Each disc is attuned to a user's wristband and a prospective user must go through a rigorous training process before full ownership is granted.
