R.G.L.S. Runestone Geopilot Logistical System
The R.G.L.S was a Dwarven technology now lost by the ever marching of time, luckily most of the texts surrounding this "Program" have survived meaning we have a basic yet meaningful understanding of the great technological advancements of our ancestors, attempts to recreate this technology have all but failed due to blueprints not surviving or not being written down.
Scholars of Ancient Dwarven technology see similarities between the R.G.L.S and other R.I.E.N.(Runic Intellect Engram Networks this will be explained in a later Article) Many believe that the R.G.L.S was the basis of these Programs that we now see today, the Dwarves named this "program" the Runestone Geopilot Logistical System, (RGLS for short) in texts its purpose was stated as being a navigational aid or supplement so crews of airship and sail ship alike didn't have to focus on navigation, of course, the navigator was still on hand as a precaution in case the R.I.E.N has a malfunction, it's other purpose stated in the same text say that this program is also responsible for logistical needs and reclamation of lost technology and ships. If Dwarven settlements were in need of supplies the program could be contacted through the use of a terminal or as stated in the text a SIN (System Intelligence Nexus) when a Dwarf uses the SIN to communicate with the RGLS it utilises a system named FACE (Facilitator for AI Communicative Emergence) this is how communication between Dwarf and RGLS happens, on every SIN there is a sheet with Runic symbols and different colours when a person enters a request the FACE sends this to the RGLS which simply responds with coloured copies of the request with an explanation as to the colours an example is below:
A Dwarf puts a request in for 3 tons of Timber, 2 Tons of stone and 4 tons of Iron, the FACE sends this to the RGLS which responds with 3 tons of Timber in Green, 2 Tons of Stone in Yellow and 4 tons of Iron in Red this is followed by an explanation as to why, (obviously when a request comes back Green no explanation is needed) for the Stone it's explanation would be that it would need time to gather materials and will attempt to deliver within a timely manner and for the Iron being Red means we cannot fulfil your request as Iron is currently in high demand try again later. This all comes in an easily translatable Runic language, with a sort of cheat sheet for understanding the meaning of the runes.
The R.G.L.S and its reclamation "Protocols" are strange, it uses a different sub-r.e.i.n to reclaim sunken ships with Dwarven technology or vessels that were carrying important information, this R.E.I.N also uses the SIN to receive communications from Dwarven administrators who have contacted the R.G.L.S to reclaim lost tech, however, this interface is slightly different it still uses the same runic communication language, but instead of being able to actively request things from the R.E.I.N it instead gives a transcript of what the R.E.I.N has encountered or how successful the operation has been, giving accurate time frames for everything. This sub-r.e.i.n is named ARI (Autonomous Reclamation Intelligence) the r.e.i.n known as ARI is still around today, but it seems corrupted somehow, rather than being helpful to life it instead raids them, taking valuables from them and taking their ships if deemed worthy, the crew would then be left on an island with enough food and water for them to persist until help comes.
This is, unfortunately, all we know about the R.G.L.S and its many sub-r.e.i.ns but we at the Cognis Group are actively searching for more information into R.E.I.N's, we have yet to discover a SIN terminal as we hope that if we can get a terminal working we may be able to contact a R.E.I.N to learn more information not only about them but what the world was like under the Ancient Dwarves and the technological marvels that we might be able to uncover due to this discovery, but so far all attempts to discover one have failed.
