Message Spell Relays: Magic users stationed at strategic points relay instructions and updates instantly.

Reputation

Midget Deliveries is respected for its efficiency but carries a mixed reputation due to its willingness to handle contraband. Merchants and nobles praise its speed and reliability, while some governments view the organization with suspicion.

Despite its dubious dealings, Midget’s charismatic persona and knack for showmanship have made the company a cultural phenomenon, often featured in tavern songs and local gossip.

Leadership

Midget, the flamboyant founder, is still actively involved in the business, often personally handling high-profile deliveries. His knack for getting into (and out of) trouble has earned the company a loyal following but also occasional friction with authorities.
