Gekkons

Gekkons are charming and adorable beings that share some resemblance to geckos, but are much larger in size, measuring about the size of a small dog, with wings that resemble those of a dragon, typically spanning about two feet. They stand at around one foot tall and are covered in a soft and velvety layer of scales, which come in various striking colors such as vibrant greens, blues, and reds.

One of their most noticeable features is their big, round, and expressive eyes that exude intelligence, curiosity, and awe. With their wide and radiant eyes, they have a look of innocence and charm.

Gekkons are widely domesticated and employed as mail carriers across the world, owing to their remarkable flying abilities. They are capable of carrying up to five pounds of cargo, although their deliveries are usually restricted to paper dispatches.

Gekkons typically reach a length of two to three feet and, while they may resemble miniature dragons, they are not actually related to dragons in any way. These creatures are native to the Garnon Forest and the jungles of Somarria, and are actually distant cousins of gecko snake-lizards.

Gekkons possess exceptional intelligence and are known for their telepathic and empathic abilities, which make them excellent pets and companions. These creatures are believed to be in tune with the Anumians of An, which allows them to navigate Chaldea with ease, and even travel vast distances across the Great Sea without getting lost. Their high level of intellect, coupled with their eagerness to please and perform complex tasks, makes Gekkons the ultimate messengers.

In fact, there have been incidents where Gekkons have been mistreated or subjected to unnecessary harm. For instance, an auction for a rare white Gekkon disrupted by protestors, who were concerned about the Gekkon's welfare. Unfortunately, the commotion resulted in the accidental death of the Gekkon, highlighting the need for ethical treatment of these intelligent creatures. Many individuals and organizations are working to raise awareness about the proper care and treatment of Gekkons, including appropriate breeding practices and responsible ownership.

Rubenstein is credited with popularizing the use of Gekkons as couriers in the modern era, introducing the concept of a swift messenger service to the world. However, historical evidence suggests that the use of Gekkons as messengers dates back much further than the Claw Hammer War. Cave paintings and ancient pottery depictions suggest that dwarves and the Kaldi utilized Gekkons for this purpose long before Rubenstein's time.

Gekkons can be expensive to maintain and require daily upkeep, which makes it difficult for most people to own one for periodic use. As a result, many individuals and businesses opt to use courier companies instead. However, those who can afford it, such as governments, nobles, and people of means, often choose to own and maintain Gekkons for their own personal use.

In addition, Gekkons have played a crucial role in war zones, where they are highly prized for their stealth and reliability. Military owners appreciate their unwavering loyalty and their ability to deliver messages without attracting attention. This has made Gekkons a valuable asset in times of conflict, helping to maintain communication between different factions and ensuring that critical information is delivered quickly and efficiently.

Gekkon Courier Services include:

Personal letters and small packages; Government dispatches and missives; and The Kordavan Informant offers daily first-class newspaper delivery by Gekkon mail service. This costly expense is a luxury few can afford.
