Communication

Communication

  • The Courier's Guild uses many systems to send messages, written or otherwise.
    • Couriers and Ondori Dolphins deliver written messages and packages to most settlements.
    • Bird Familiars, such as Jaykings, can be used for discreet, high-quality messages.
    • Emergency protocols may include long-distance underwater signals.
  • The Archivist's Guild relays critical intelligence through the Archivist hive mind.
  • Glyphstones, while rarely used in modern times, can relay simple signals through the earth.

Comm Towers

  • Large towers that enable city-wide broadcasting and communication to Mindshards.
    • Can also relay broadcasts to and from the Stormcrest Comm Tower.
  • Theaters and certain major establishments possess tuned Mindshards that receive these broadcasts.
  • Can maintain over two hundred Mindshard-to-Mindshard connections within several kilometers, enabling calls.
    • All communications on the network can, in theory, be monitored by the Archivist's Guild.
  • Constructed with the assistance of Aedron, God of Crafting, and Lexica, Goddess of the Mind.
  • Operated by the Archivist's Guild under the Broadcast Director.
  • Constructed at Stormcrest, Arcanus, Haven, Titania, Skywood, Onyx, Meris, and Aegis.
    • Three more are under construction in Starfell, Eldara, and Riven.
  • Comm Towers can sustain up to three broadcasting streams, accessible to any Mindshards within the city.
    • Channel 1 is News: Politics, Civic Affairs, Public Announcements, Demonic Alerts, Religion, etc.
    • Channel 2 is Entertainment: Sports, Competitions, Major Events, Ceremonies, etc.
    • Channel 3 is Special Purpose: Generally used for military or guild purposes.
  • Access to the Comm Tower comms network is usually available, but VIPs have priority access.
    • This ensures the military infrastructure always has access; e.g. Hunters, Archivists, Commanders, etc.

Stormcrest Broadcasting Station

  • A special-design Comm Tower that relays broadcasts to and from other Comm Towers.
  • Is regularly used to broadcast major events, competitions, news, and entertainment through Endros.
