Tower Stones

There are two known types of tower stones: linking and tracker. All stones are made by the gemmary craftsmen in the citadel. The secrets of crafting them are closely guarded, and they are dispensed only to the guards of the tower, and to some members of the citadel's diplomacy corps. All stones are keyed to their user, and so are worthless if stolen or lost.

The clear stones are set at the heart of a medallion of some dark unkown metal, wrought in the form of a tree. This medallion often doubles as a badge of service to the Biomancer.

Linking Stone:
These stones must be syncronized, via a verbal key and touching of the stones, before use of a tower's line of sight teleportation ability. This allows the next user to arrive at the same point as the previous linked to user. These are generally used by citadel envoy and scouting groups. The link remains in force, until one party speaks the unbinding phrase.

Tracker Stone:
These stones are issued to captains of the tower militia and have the same abilities as the linking stones, as well as the ability to follow an unlinked user. This allowing the tower guard to render aid more swiftly or to give chase if need be.
