Neerin Neelia's observation table wasn't as polished as it could have been.
Mortal-watching was one of Jerim Jya's many hobbies-- maybe even her favorite.
Over her *centuries* of crafting tools on a whim, there were two pieces of artifice she considered masterpieces... and they were a paired set.
A runed full helmet made out of sky-wrought silver.
A beautiful staff tipped with two wings and with two cheeky snakes climbing up.
Together, they made a viewing device and a remote control capable of powerful, instantaneous, and highly adjustable magnification settings.
That thing could pierce through physical walls, adverse weather conditions, magical barriers-- Little Green even insisted it could see through lies and deceit.
(That didn't make any sense but that was 100% what she said.)
