Hey, if we cut an eluvian in half, will it still work? Because imagine. If we could strap one to a griffon, we could be anywhere, and only one person would have to do the traveling. Or we could strap one to the bottom of a griffon and fly low over a battlefield or a lake and people could jump through without the griffon even needing to land—

[ Or maybe that's just her personal paratrooper fantasy, parachute part PENDING, RESEARCH. ]

I think we could be thinking bigger here. Or smaller. But in a big way.

And if we could do this with small parts, could we do it with larger parts, too?

Think — if we didn't have to pay for freight for things to come to us...

(Trademaster brain gears are suddenly whirring.)

Hm,

( thoughtful, gears also spinning, thank you gela for running with it, )

Admittedly, our pathways through the Crossroads are a matter of security— you wouldn’t want to put large-scale transit through it, and I mentioned distance from the Gallows on the receiving end so someone can’t, say, smuggle a bomb to the towers through the delivery mechanism. But I think the principle holds. For transporting smaller valuable items for trade, or larger pieces that could perhaps be disassembled…

Or, yes, larger pieces for trade if a trusted Riftwatch agent can transport them through.

(Gela makes a little sound at 'smuggle a bomb'.

Hastily,) We would have to test it. And instruct everybody who uses it in the utmost secrecy and caution, of course... but I think that it would be very useful for us if we could get it up and running.

Thank you for the idea!
