Description and lore
Messengers, usable routes and available communication methods connect a holding's named endpoints.
A communication network carries the limits and strengths of its means. A rider, a written message and an available magical method each leave different traces.
Its life appears in the people waiting for news. A dispatch board, spare writing materials and a messenger preparing to depart can make distant obligations feel close.
