The Black Link
An indestructible crystal cube used by the leaders of the Keratos Empire for centuries. It is a Communication type of Crystalform, already rare, but its link to the specific cubes held by foreign rulers give it an unshackable power.
Mechanics & Inner Workings
Like other Farspeech Crystals, the Black Link is activated by touch on specific faces and then proceeds to display an image of all participants from the perspective of their own cubes. The lack of distinctive feature make it hard to spot which does which without visual clues such as a leather strap or a marking over the spotless surface. There is also the matter of not blocking the "view" from the crystal.
Whatever the case the Black Link is used for conferences involving all parties. As such a common time and specific rituals have been put in place to facilitate debate. The fact that every participant is distant avoids the risk of assassination, but the weight of words carried through such a devices does not change in the sligghest and the Ambassadors or even the Lord-Emperor need to mind their tones.
