Communication Technology

Utility

Used to enable longer range communication in real time.

Manufacturing

Built by enchanters except sending plates which are Giant technology yet to be reproduced.

Social Impact

Sending devices have facilitated international communication across the world and built connections across massive distances.

Inventor(s)

Giants during the Age of Giants.

Access & Availability

Sending devices are rare and expensive to produce so are mostly used by governments and large organizations. Sending plates are so rare only 6 exist.

Complexity

Incredibly hard to produce.

Discovery

Most communication is managed by signal fires, letters and more traditional forms but three forms of magical communication are present. Sending stones which work like long range speaking devices, sending orbs which function over vast distances from a stationary tower and sending plates which are very, very rare Giant artifacts that work anywhere in the world and are portable.
