☀️ Arselia and Akonia

—........ She was fired? I don't understand. Her Majesty is certainly very perceptive and can determine a person's fate based on a single incorrect dialogue, and yet... Well, another comrade has left without even saying goodbye... —he rubbed his forehead distractedly with one hand and hugged Sanex tighter with the other. —I wonder if this will ever end.

Shrugging her shoulders, she felt that this turn of events was also unexpected for her. In fact, even more so.

There, you can dig a moat, place guards at the gates, and create a labyrinth with fruits inside, simply because it's necessary to feel like you're in the right place in the universe sometimes.

—Fruits? Oh, fruit mimics. Yes, a terrifying monster, but in a labyrinth, I would rather place mimics that are more suitable for the interior.

—As for the temporary headquarters...

✍
—Yes, it's clear that you have relevant experience, which is good.

In the long term, you can experiment with cameras, somehow configure them to detect invisibility, and constantly record, but you can't build something like that overnight.

—With cameras? That sounds interesting; after all, a device's eye is different from a human's, so there might be potential in that direction.

—I was also thinking about aura vision. As the Patriarch explained to me some time ago, no high-level priest is afraid of a sudden attack by invisible aliens, but everything alive has an aura, right? So what difference does the color make? Or, in the case of priests, is it not aura vision but rather some kind of intuitive sense of the presence of something alien, which plays a role?

—Therefore, questions. Giy, can your penetration ability be turned on permanently to analyze everything around you? Tluassa (if she's here), maybe you know how this actually works? If Cleona disappeared during a tournament, would you find her? And Giyon? And someone "dark"? What's the difference?

The capital's masters or special services must have their own developments, otherwise, anyone with scouting skills could sneak into the imperial treasury at night.

—Regarding the treasuries, I suspect that there is simply round-the-clock security there... But it's not a certainty; I need to ask. After the attack on the Patriarch, the latter may have installed some kind of protection system for Draco Mellis, by the way.

Regarding the preservation of valuable items, you can indeed turn to Kragg. A rune that binds an item to a specific person in the world definitely exists, and although the solution is not optimal, it certainly helps me sleep better.

—Currently, the rune is not a viable solution. Kragg doesn't work with other people's items, and I can only prepare for a new rune and do it only once. In general, we need to get used to the fact that magic is a useful tool, but we shouldn't rely on it too much; it limits imagination with its supposed universality.

—Another question about the interior. We have a lot of Baldur's Gate people here, right? Should we hang a picture of Eyr? —she takes it out of her inventory. —We can save it for the new fortress; hopefully, there will be more space there.
