Sending information through Transfer Portals

[whitelaughter]

unless there is also some way that signatures of other Portals can be added to that transmitted information, which there might be, but we've seen no evidence of that in canon.

yes, this would need to be the fundamental information provided first; everything else is gravy. The thing is, this is 'home turf' information; the Portal is talking about Portal relevant information. That doesn't prove that it is possible, of course.

If certain information can only be gained mind to mind, it would be interesting to know how much can be placed in a homing pigeon's mind, as that would be the fastest way to send such information when Portals are not available.

This does open up some interesting ideas. Sending a courier by Portal is an obvious thing, though it's likely to be expensive and it'll be awkward unless you have a permanent connection with the destination. Horsemen or carrier birds might do just as well. But can't the shiral crystals function as information conduits-- FaceTime, if you will? And...could a Deryni sender use a crystal and a Deryni link to mind-talk to a non-Deryni recipient?

Joram: Uh, Camber, you're on mute.

Evaine: Rhys won't be at the meeting today. His shiral crystal broke a couple of days ago. He just got a new one delivered but he's still setting it up.

Alister: This meeting could have been a wax tablet.

Almost every meeting could/should be a wax tablet.
