AND LET THERE BE TELECOMMUNICATIONS

[turgonthewise]

Head of the House of Artificers: Ready, sire?

Turgon: *nods and reaches out. Flicks the switch, activating reception towers around the city*

House of Artificers: *burst into cheers when nothing explodes*

Turgon: you've all done very good work, and I'm honoured to have you as citizens of my city. *mentally thinking 'and now I can harass Lio and Finrod without even getting out of bed'*





Okay, messengers have been sent out to hand the authorized people their 'phones', which is such a weird word to even say. But I'm going to give Lio, Ar, and Finrod theirs in person. I'm not sure Idril should have one.

They're neat little devices, made with similar principles to the Palantirs, but relying on technology so they don't have to be massively powerful magical devices.

They're a thin rectangle, made of metal, with a button to turn it on to tell it who you want to call, if they have another device, and a button to end it. They couldn't get the telepathy to work with all the races and without having to rely on the massively magical element. They run on their own power under means I'm not actually sure I followed when the lead developer was telling me.

They've got more in the works to hand out to the guards, to help them keep track of each other so there isn't another 'wandering around blind in the sewers with cultists coming after them' incident.
