So railway and telegraph lines might be a bust right now. But what about towers using morse code - they won't require anything connecting them inbetween - and depending on how theyre made they'll have a good range, quick info delivery, and magic and/or runes could make them safe.
I could invision telegraphing towers dedicated to let say Verena might allow for fullproofing (If the operatörs can identify the flashing light being verified Verena_telegraph) from chaos/evil. With the added bonus of eventually creating worshipboost from all the message flying everywhichway! 🤔😁

Its sometimes 'ok' with SI's in that they 'know' the steps.
but its rare that they don't take it too far. knowing gunpower and knowing the ingredients is one thing, knowing the ratio's, and how to measure them without the internet on hand is another.
and even if you're someone that can do that, doesn't mean you know metalwork enough to explain to people how to make a gun. etc etc
I can totally see the average person being able to remake a few simple things or something that they were skilled in, but the SI would need to be one of the very few top engineering-historians in the world to actually make real progress with just what they could remember.
Edit: and only if they land in a time period that the specialised in.

Oh, that "evil" being spoken as something objective.
And how do you exactly expect dedicating them to Verena, even it would have any metaphysical effect, to ward against chaos? Miraculously refuse to transmit messages by anyone knowingly or unknowingly serving chaos - and you even need to properly define "serve chaos", one could say that anyone living and thinking serves it if one is so inclined - or what?

That's the case in 40k, not Fantasy. There's non-Chaos gods in this setting, who embody all sorts of aspects concerning life and society and war. In Fantasy, you have to outright devote your actions to Chaos to serve it.

You should ask Verenan clergy about that. Properly answering your question would require access to the Lore of Verena just to start, which Mathilde doesn't have and it's not in the spellbooks threadmark, and then they probably have rituals too.

Note "one could say". The point was that "serving chaos" is incredibly ill-defined concept, and telegraph warding against chaos is even more nebulous and therefore meaningless group of words.
Also what you say isn't strictly proven, as I remember, emotion-of-everyone-feeding-chaos 40k mechanism could hold to some weaker degree (or it could not, specific details about hidden metaphysics would be up to QM).

Yeah. Even in Dr Stone, a manga whose premise is that there is a super absurd guy who is a super absurd genius with super absurd memory (he'd probably have Learning 60 on this quest's scale, at worst) trying to uplift the world back to its previous levels post apocalypse, he cannot do it with his talents alone and needs other specialists.
That is what uplift attempts on quests often do not understand, even though even a super absurd shonen does. (not saying as a take that, I occassionally forget that too, in my enthusiasm, its human to want to share beneficial knowledge)

While it's almost certainly the case in 40K, and may well not be the case in Fantasy, it also may be the case (as gods may overlap). Certainly there are sources that claim that it's the case in Fantasy. Whether you believe those sources or not is a judgement call.

I did pick Verena as an example, well Morr then, or make it an enchantment project doesnt the Light college have antichaos spells.
Obviously it would havnt catch everything, the point being not message sent between two towers - but rather a way to verify if it came from an Imperial tower in the first place.
Just picking up on a previous topic, about archmages versus artillery, something that's probably relevant is that archmages aren't the only people of mass destruction that the forces of order have. The best Grail Knights are examples - such as Reolus, who personally slew two chaos giants and then broke a beastman horde in a battle by killing so many of them, solo-ed a dragon and an entire undead army by carving his way through it to reach and kill the necromancer. He was finally killed when he faced a regenerating Chaos Lord of Khorne. He slew the Chaos Lords' attendant Chaos Champions, but even though he cut off the Lord's arm and impaled his head through the face with his sword the Khornate's blessing of regeneration meant that even lethal wounds weren't enough to put him down.

Damn I was sure I saw someone vote a few pages back. Welp went the way I wanted from the look of it.
The towers may not require anything between them, but they do require the lack of anything between them to create a clear line of sight - that requirement is not necessarily easy to fulfill when so much of the Empire is covered in ancient forests. Which in turn requires either really tall towers to get over the old-growth forest treeline (they would need to be something like 15-20 stories tall) or you'd need particularly well-cleared roads that are both wide and straight enough that boughs/branches wouldn't get in the way for the entire stretch between towers.
So while it could be done, it'd be a fair bit bigger of an up front investment needed than you might normally expect, and these sorts of things aren't exactly small investments in the first place.

Then he came back.
So nice, he did it twice.

Well, first he had his whole stint with Nehekhara ending with Skaven tearing him to pieces and throwing those pieces in his furnaces.
Then he came back as a shade and fought Sigmar over his crown, then took too many hammer-blows to the face.
Then he came back as a giant skeleton and has been sulking in Nagashizzar since then.

Drachenfels is one of the most evil beings to ever live also the biggest troll ever. He is old lore and once pretended to be a champion of good for a 100 years to prove his point. One of his greatest creation was to create a castle and fill it with traps. Now he did these because everyone who dies in the castle give there life and soul to him. Guy is considered the second Nagash and a troll.
Guys, what's going on last days since the vote? I'm scared.
