The Exalted Writers
The Fastest Couriers in the World
Built from the ground up over five centuries ago, the The Exalted Writers have set themselves up as the premier letter delivery postal service. Though the exact number of letters they help deliver is unknown, it is suspected the organization delivers over a thousand letters a day across the entirety of the Kratocracy Empire in a near instant. Once only being in two cities of the Empire, the business they were able to garner in such a short timeframe allowed for them to quickly spread to all the major cities and towns. Now it is the most renowned courier guild in the world and is the only way to send a correspondence if you want assurance it will never be late. The pricing varies for the items being sent and the distance that is being covered to insure proper funding for the guild's future endeavors.
| Type of Document | Standard Price | Expedited Price | Pickup | Courier Delivery |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Common Correspondence | 2 Copper | 5 Copper | Free | 2 Copper per mile |
| Important Letters | 10 Copper | 20 Copper | 1 Copper | 2 Copper per mile |
| Important Documents | 500 Copper | 1 Silver | 10 Copper | 20 Copper per mile |
| Official Writs & Decrees | 5 Silver | 1 Gold | 1 Silver | 1 Silver per mile |

History
Designed by a group of enterprising individuals over five hundred years ago that wanted to expedite the process by which written letter and communications would be transferred, these people worked hard at first in transporting the letters themselves from Tamora to Hiroholm for their first decade. Not content with the slow process and danger of having to transport on the road, these enterprising individuals went about gathering resources to create a more efficient mode of transport. Over the next thirty years, they quickly worked to obtain several locations in all major cities so that they could test out the fruition on their efforts. Putting all their faith in a trial with writs to be transferred between several noble houses for extremely important transactions, they used the new system they had devised and waited.
Within hours of starting the trial, they had a response from the other houses for the whole process. Wondering several of these noble houses, the word spread quickly for this new way of communicating and they received investments from several of the houses so that expansion could be achieved for the whole Kratocracy Empire. It took several more decades for that to happen as getting all the necessarily skilled and trustworthy people for operating the new offices took longer than actually building or acquiring the new locations. Though several other couriers services still exist, The Exalted Writers has become the premier way to send letters, writs, & documents in a expedited fashion. It's most recent venture was to send over the resources necessary for the establishment of a new location in Arsedale with the Second Colony Wave to help maintain the connectivity of the people in the Noble Lands.
Technological Level
The Exalted Writers have created a system of of interconnected Numat Trick Tubes, named after the creator who was able to make them work effectively. Most offices are connected to each other via having direct access to conjoined tubes that allow for them to reach the major cities and the guildhall located in Tamora city. If the document needs to be sent to one of the various towns that exist throughout the Kratocracy Empire, they are first sent to the guildhall in Tamora and then subsequently forwarded to the destination; if each location maintained a direct connection it would require a lot more resources than what the guild could garner to complete the process.
