We've all heard the line, one of the cooler moments of the LOTR movies. But right now, beacons don't exactly have the same effect when they're lit. That's why I'm proposing a slight change to them. In addition to their current function, beacons can also be shift-right clicked to bring up a menu. This menu has a box for naming the beacon, (for instance, "the beacon of Minas Tirith") and a drop down box where fellowship members (or leaders only, not sure) can select a fellowship they are a part of for the beacon to be linked to. When the beacon is lit, it will light all other beacons nearby, but it will also send a chat message to all members of the fellowship it is linked to, in this case it will say "The beacons of Minas Tirith are lit!".

Anyways, I think that would be a cool way to add to beacons functionality and add a sort of mass alarm system for fellowships. Please comment, constructive criticism is appreciated!
