The Royal Guard Datapad is a high performance small electronic device used to store and display information with an incredibly high level of encryption. In the case of assignment, it provides a direct line of communication to any Dark Councilor protected along with itinerary and mission details and necessary security clearances appropriate to the role. This includes access to high-security areas on Arx necessary to perform the duties. This access is remotely controlled by the Grand Master's Royal Guard on a needed basis.
