Communication

The Courier’s Guild of House Orien operates a mail service, carrying messages and packages across Khorvaire by horse and the house’s lightning rail. Sending a letter by mail is inexpensive; sending a package or a message by way of a courier is more secure but more expensive.

 

If security is particularly important, House Sivis can protect written messages using magic, such as the illusory script spell, and House Kundarak can secure packages with the glyph of warding spell.

 

The gnomes of House Sivis also maintain a network of speaking stones to facilitate instantaneous communication across long distances. Short messages pass from one stone to another one within a network of message stations.
