It's a system we used to have in Sumeru. We used it to share and obtain information, essentially. To be honest, I was never the biggest fan of it, and I don't really miss it--but it certainly had its uses.
In a lot of ways, really. But ultimately, from what I heard, the Sages--that is, the people in power at the time--took advantage of it. When they were overthrown, the system was shut down.
Yes. [A sigh, as he finishes writing.] It's left a lot of the students somewhat unmoored, but they'll be alright. And maybe they'll learn a thing or two about appreciating the art of storytelling again, while they're at it.
Not in the sense that it was eradicated--people just lost their appreciation for it. Why listen to a storyteller when you could be fed the information you want directly into your mind with a capsule? [Huffs.] People argued that it was an obsolete art form, but I never agreed.
The arts are very important to me, yes. ["The ability to appreciate beauty is an important virtue," says Kaveh Kavehson.] And yes, I do. Granted, aesthetics are never my primary focus when I'm designing--but to me, they're a critical element of any space meant for humans.

Sometimes it's better something doesn't exist, if it's prone to being abused.

Information is information, but atmosphere can't really be created that way.
