Editing Couriers

'''Couriers''' are the highest rank a [[Runner]] from the [[Runner's Guild]] can reach. They are capable of crossing entire continents for their clients.

== Overview ==
Couriers are often considered the Gold-rank equivalent of Runners, though Couriers are generally more famous than most Gold-rank teams, as the former are often seen in public.<ref name="7.15 R">[https://wanderinginn.com/7.15 Chapter 7.15 R]</ref> 

== Equipment ==
Standard equipment for Couriers is a gem that is enchanted with a [Detect Truth] spell, which prevents them from being deceived by people untruthfully proclaiming to be the rightful receivers of their deliveries.{{cite}}

== Courier Seals ==
Couriers use a different system from City and Street Runners.<ref name="2.15"/> A Courier's Seal is able to record the location, the face and identity of the recipient and the time when the Courier carried out their delivery. Any mage can use the seal to verify the Courier's delivery.<ref name="2.15">[https://wanderinginn.wordpress.com/2017/04/22/2-15/ Chapter 2.15]</ref>

==Trivia==
*Acquiring [Double Step] and [Quick Movement] is a general indicator of crossing two-thirds of the way towards becoming a Courier.<ref name="3.04">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/08/15/3-04/ Chapter 3.04]</ref>
*To become a Courier, one has to be at least level 30.
*There are so few who manage to become one; not even a hundred are known on the whole continent of [[Izril]]. It is considered rare for two Couriers to be certified in a year.<ref>[[Chapter 8.09]]</ref>
*In the Future of an Alternate Reality, [[Herove Canidus]] would become a courier, and be the first Runner, or rather Courier, to join the ranks of the [[Order of Solstice]].<ref name=":9.09 P">[https://wanderinginn.com/2022/08/20/9-09-p/ Chapter 9.09 P]</ref> 
*In an Alternate Reality of ''What If...'' [[Persua Alcherie Mavva|Persua]] and Ryoka were friends, [[Persua Alcherie Mavva/Alternate Version|Alternate-Persua]] would become a Courier known as '''Persua the Untouchable'''.<ref name=":9.09 P" />
