The Premise:

The Vault of Stars is an ancient structure as legend tells home to a treasure of a scale to reshape the world. The Vault exists within a pocket dimension whose entrance opens rarely and never in the same place twice. Several centuries ago the entrance's next location became discernable, as the intensity of the magic involved allowed its presence to precede its arrival. In those early days it was a free for all, nations and adventurers both warred at the entrance in macro and micro scale jockeying for position and control. 

Now after so long without success interest has waned, the entrance is calmly overseen by the guard or army of the local jurisdiction. Entry is orderly as only the bravest dungeon delvers and most desperate of fools venture attempts these days.
