Spell kite

A spell kite is an enchanted kite that carries objects to a paired beacon stone. They were used in the pre-Calamity Age of Arcanum by the people of Cathmoíra to send letters and objects to their families in Avalir once every seven years on the eve of the Replenishment.

Description
Spell kites are bright colored with have long, paper tails, and they are inscribed with the name of the recipient. They are attached to baskets, which can be filled with letters, flowers, or baked goods. They can carry items as heavy as loaves of bread. The kites travel to specific recipients by seeking out beacon stones attached to buildings, usually homes, in Avalir.

History
Spell kites were created and used in the Age of Arcanum before the Calamity. Once every seven years, as Avalir approached Cathmoíra on the eve of the Replenishment, the people of Cathmoíra used spell kites to send letters and small objects to their families in Avalir. The "endless parade" of spell kites would begin making their way into Avalir around the time Cathmoíra was first visible on the horizon.

In Exandria Unlimited: Calamity, set at the beginning of the Calamity on the last eve of the Replenishment, Loquatius Seelie received a spell kite at the home of his ex-wife Laerryn Coramar-Seelie in the afternoon. Nydas Okiro received two spell kites at his office in the Golden Scythe guild hall; the first arrived in the afternoon from his brother Eaedalus Okiro with a brief letter and a nut and fruit loaf made by his sister-in-law Irmé, and the second arrived afterward from Irmé with a lengthier letter detailing family news and her attempts to encourage Elias to send a kite to his father Zerxus Ilerez. Elias did not send a kite to Zerxus. However, when Zerxus visited Elias in Cathmoíra as devils attacked both cities, Elias held a spell kite and regretted not having sent it.

Trivia

 * Aabria Iyengar, player of Laerryn, pointed to a spell kite for arriving at Laerryn's house as "a moment that stealth-wrecked [her]" because it implied that Laerryn got the house in their divorce.
