My original plan with the :entropy fast travel was that when a player enters it, he/she can choose one of the four map sections, and then teleport in one of the hexagons there randomly.

This way you would keep some control, but there would also be the element of randomness.

With :fire you could always simply ride the flaming rocks or ash clouds from the volcano.

/Breath of life
Fast travel for Fire: Sliding down some lava channels could work too.
Fast travel for Death: Skeletal horse pulled Chariot
Fast travel for Aether: Twin Universe. Technically this would be teleportation since you are transferring an exact copy of yourself to another location while simultaneously killing off the original person.

fire should like blow you up, but not harm you, sending you very far very quick
gravity does this wierd weaken gravity>strengthen gravity>weaken gravity thingy
death will ride on chairs mounted on a table like thing carried by skeletons.
life would be adrenalined i guess

Gravity obviously has acceleration/hyperspace. Quite simply, the idea behind hyperspace is that if you are able to manipulate gravity you can lower your sum mass, allowing you to accelerate at a constant rate indefinitely without an increased need in energy. Allows for travel to destinations far away quickly, but doesn't help much for places close by since you must decelerate as well.

Death might be reincarnation. You kill yourself, your soul goes to the destination, finds a corpse, reanimates it and then possesses it. Either that or planar travel where you shortcut through hell to reach your destination quickly. Of course if you are walking throughhell you must battle the countless hordes of demons as you go.

Fire makes me think of phoenix. You incinerate your body in a flames and the ashes rematerialize at the destination. This hurts of course.

Life makes me think of simple shortcuts. You don't take the road around the forest, you instead walk through the forest.  This of course places a bit of a random element to it.

 :death The River Styx?  Or how about Charon's Ferry?  Obviously, both owing to Greek mythology.

:aether For A whole lot of quanta the king will let you teleport wherever you want.
 :air  There are stables filled with ridable eagles, they are extremely expensive to ride though cheaper then the Aether and will get you anywhere, safely in a single turn.
 :darkness  No king, action ability. Dark Teleportation. Demons will offer you their services, taking you wherever you want to go instantly for a steep price. But be weary, there is a chance you may arrive with one less card in your vault.
 :death  The Lord of Death will allow you to travel through the realm of the  underworld for free, but be warned, fierce beasts lie here. (Fight one Level 5 AI with your deck. If you win, you get  through without lost, you lose, three cards are lost when you pass through. Prove it with a timestamps before and after Screen Shots. Battle must be on the hour or at least close to it in order to make it hard to cheat.)
 :earth  Gnome low ways (Gnome tunnels to other cities but only cities allied with earth. Half Travel, low fee.)
 :entropy  The mad wizard of entropy will teleport you to a random location on the map for free.
 :fire  Hot Air balloons cut travel down by two turns. Moderately expensive.
 :gravity  For a moderate cost you can have a momentum spell cast on you by the king's powerful wizard. Allows you to accelerate at a constant  rate to infinite speeds. Makes it so you can get anywhere in exactly three turns.
 :life Horse, reduces trip by two turns. Low cost.
 :light No king, they actually have an action  ability to sacrifice one card to the gods to go anywhere they want instantly.
:time For a moderate cost, you are hastened you can get where you need to go three turns less then you would have otherwise. However, you will be unable to collect resources during this period and for a turn afterwards as you try to readjust to normal time.
:water A ship can take you down rivers to various destinations for a small fee, though the options are limited.  Twice as fast as normal travel though.
