Hades/Dyval Long Range Communication

Unread post by narcissus »

How do Deevils and Demons communicate with each other at distance when they're in their respective dimensions? Or when they're fighting in the Minion War for that matter? Are they using traditional radios or some sort of bone/blood magic version?

I'd go with this because of the Evil Sqwek factor:

"I gotta send a reply to SoulEater's last entrail-o-gram. Bring me up a couple of slaves for the sacrifice; I may as well send a message to Clot-Gut over in the Anvil Galaxy at the same time."

Than the Sage among his Books,
For all the Empires and Kingdoms,
The Armies and Works that you hold Dear,
Are to him but the Playthings of the Moment,
To be turned over with the Flick of a Finger,
And the Turning of a Page"

Ley Line Communication.
Messangers (who can fly very fast, tirelessly)
Magic Pigeon spell.
Those drums that can be heard for miles and miles.
and of course traditional stuff like smoke signals and signal drums and heliographs all work well.
The rules are not a bludgeon with which to hammer a character into a game. They are a guide to how a group of friends can get together to weave a collective story that entertains everyone involved. We forget that at our peril.

I would figure a lot of teleport circles, myself and some sort unholy-pony express. Astral projection might be viable as well.

i'd imagine that communication rifts are also a possibility, for messages going from the frontlines back to their home dimensions.

I love this idea and it is now canon in my universe. Thanks for this.
