In SKT, there is a small section under the Korolnor Scepter detailing the general location of each other scepters, a few of them being location unknown.

Now, in the Wyrmskull Throne adventure, one of the power of the throne mentions
"Teleport: The Throne can immediately teleport without error to within fifty yards of any of the Ruling Scepters, regardless of any intermediate magical or mundane barriers.
The only way this power cannot work is if a scepter is taken out of Realmspace or off the Prime Material Plane."

Why would all the scepters not been recovered and in possession of Neri, has she had both a scepter and the throne itself, and it seems all the other scepters whose location is known are all on the same plane?

If that were the case, it seems to me that the scepters would have been a better way of communicating with all the giants leaders, rather than using the Conch of Teleportation...

Am I missing something?

Does it also grant awareness of each particular scepter's existence and ability to "finger" it?
If not, the user needs to see each one previously, and this may be a problem.

If I remember aright, the sceptres and throne had pass words for teleportation to each other, (Wyrmskull Throne publication) Not knowing these words the giants cannot use all of the powers.
