There was an entry [on the old wiki] that talked aobut how judges had the ferarris and regular abidan had the corollas
Will Wight
I don’t remember that analogy, but it’s a good one. Abidan use Presences for a lot of things, not just personal regulation of power. Everybody in the Abidan WOULD have one, at least as the equivalent of like a cell phone.
OrgnlDave
Wait, does that mean that they are as common and useful as cell phones, or that the difference between a Judge and and Abidan presence is a cellphone and a ferrari?
Will Wight
Sorry, I switched analogies. I meant they’re as ubiquitous and convenient as cell phones.

How is Dross connected to Lindon?
Will Wight
Dross is now tied to Lindon. And effectively yes, he is a baby Presence.

Was wondering a bit about Dross and Northstrider, I've read the WoW and we were discussing it last night. I know you've said that Northstrider would think Dross was a failure because he doesn't have the depth of information as a Abidan presence, but I was also wondering if Dross is a bit more aware/independent than Northstrider would like/how the Abidan Presences are
Like Suriel's keeps giving distance units to various places, even when clear context would say not to do that, until she tells it to stop.
Will Wight
We’ll get more into the nature of Presences as the series progresses, but basically they’re each very individual. Suriel’s is very different from Makiel’s in both specialty and personality, etc.

I've always imagine Suriels Presence sounding like Legion from Mass Effect, and now that we know a bit more about them, is that not too far off the mark?
Will Wight
Sure, why not?
Questioner
How does the Presence work? Is it a construct. A drudge? Both? Does Suriel even have a Remnant? I think not as she can't die.
Will Wight
A drudge is a particular type of construct. A Presence is something like a construct, only much more advanced.
You could think of it as a magical computer made of thoughts.
And Suriel did not grow up in Cradle. The FIRST Abidan came from Cradle, and MANY Abidan still do, but not ALL of them do.
