Language is important because it allows people to clearly convey their thoughts to each other, but upon discovering that their own memories limited them in passing a spoken message, they invented writing. Then, as civilization progressed, more advanced forms of communication, such as Morse code or even electronic signals were invented, allowing people to communicate with each other over great distances. Although people do not realise it, the methods which are used to bridge large distances are usually very important to the world, as an efficient method of communication can help to establish an empire, start a rebellion, or perhaps change history completely.
Your exercise is to think about what methods of communication the people in your world use besides spoken and written language. You can use the following sheet to help you establish a method of communication or create a free-form sheet.
Name: (The name of the communication method)
Range: (How far can this method of communication reach within a reasonable amount of time?)
Capacity: (How much information can this communication method can convey?)
Description: (How does this method of communication work? What makes it possible to use this method of communication? How is this method of communication seen by the society?)
Properties: (What kind of advantages and disadvantages does this communication method have? Can it be intercepted by an enemy? What else can it be used for?)
Effect: (How did this method of communication affect the world that it is in? Did it make a new empire rise from the ashes? Did it give the rebels a fighting chance against their oppression? Did it revolutionise the whole world?)
History: (How was this method of communication created? What inspired its creation? What organisation was it created by?)
Other: (Other notes that you think must be mentioned about this method of communication)
