When Charis was setting up the rescue of Daivyn they talked about wyverns that are capable of several thousand mile range so I was thinking Charis should set up a network of wyverns to connect their whole empire together because that would dramatically cut down message time between all of the empires islands and it would allow much faster communication between Siddarmark and the rest of the empire. Also it would allow major fleets to also be able to communicate back to the rest of the empire too.

If they have enough wyverns they would be able to keep a steady message traffic and using schooners or steam ships when they become advalible to maintain a large number of wyverns at each coop.

They probably already have something like that far before the Merlin.

Well that would be impossible as the wyverns which I am suggesting that they use either did not exist or were still a state secret of emerald. Also if this system existed then the message travel time would be much less and they would not be talking about the slowness of galleons for carrying the messages. They also do not already have such a system in place as they are always talking about how slow the message speed between the islands of the empire is as with these wyverns the message speed would be only a couple of days not five days for sailing ships.
