The couriers’ messages are pretty varied and not necessarily characterized by urgency. Couriers serve less as an emergency response system and more like a living telegraph/pony express, just average mailmen. The clans are fairly geographically isolated, but still work as one unit, so the couriers keep the clans in constant contact and updated on anything even slightly relevant. They also help connect family members across clans and deliver personal messages between them. They manage physical items as well, and regularly make deliveries such as herbs or prey, or trade goods with the local trader Captain. However, they are still key messengers in case of an emergency.
