Linken Tome
In the advent of the Draconic Empire, the labouring force of the kingdom, the Draken, would find themselves in constant need of coordinating with one another for large projects. To see to it that they may work with maximum efficiency at all times, the Creator Kataskev of the Ring of Elders would develop a creation known as a Linken Tome which he would hand out to his Draken craftsmen and architects so that they may communicate with one another easily and effectively while also allowing Kataskev to track them at all times and organize their work to perfection.
Continuing onwards throughout time, the Linken Tome would see minor adjustments made to its generational models by the Kataskev Guild to continue supporting the Draken with not only their work but also their normal lives, as the Tomes served as novelties of entertainment and hobbies like photography and even videography, though the Dragons of the Guild would also be protective of their invention and lead campaigns to make sure their creation would not fall to the hands of non-Dragonborn. Unfortunately, such campaigns would not be without cracks and eventually, through different sources, some Mortals would find their hands on these Tomes, though without a proper supporting Linken Pedestal to charge the device with. As such, the device has remained a closed-off product that is only commonly available to the people of Dragonhearth.
Technicalities
Linken Tomes are rectangular devices usually made out of a metal or polished stone with a black screen. Handles are positioned on the sides of them for easy holding. The inner workings of the device is powered by magic that requires regular recharging on a Linken Pedestal, a device which the Tome is inserted into to have it recharge for a day. A camera is built on the front and backside of the device.
Linken Tomes are able to withstand about a week of constant use before needing to recharge. Linken Tomes are capable of video communication or text communication, with the formal draining more of its battery than the latter, by using the magic stored within it and transforming it into a form of data that can be sent out using a mechanical signal that each Linken Tome houses as well as the very Ethereal Chain between planets as a sort of "roadway" for the data to travel through. On rare occasions, the signal between worlds can be unstable which prevents communication until the signal stabilizes itself.
Besides its ability to have live video communication with another Linken user, Linken Tomes are also capable of recording both pictures and video and storing them in the Tome, although each picture or video taken drains a chunk of the week-long battery. Magical users who are knowledged in the innerworkings of the Tome can use their own magic to recharge the Tome, however such is a risky process as it requires a perfect and precise charge to do so efficiently without destroying the Tome and everything it has stored inside.
