People enter by invite only.

Example:They open a favorite book, let’s say, and there’s a note in it. The note asks them to follow specific directions (pack these things, arrive at this alley way, at this specific time, on this day.)
And I’m following those directions, they enter the realm/portal
Halfway down the alley, everything changes, and you know you’re in the right place
The letters can be coordinated and sent out by an NPC or IC secretary of transportation and deportation.
