Bone-Tag Arcade
The dead require a receipt; the living require permission
The counters of Candle-Sump certify the dead and hold the living's papers in suspense. Chief Clerk Dalen Voss commands the seals; behind him, a second press reissues names harvested from the crypt drafts.
Codex Ref. II.1.05-003
Candle Bridge
A crossing that preaches, and charges for the lesson
Candle-Sump's main crossing preaches cleanliness, obedience and sacred accounting above the canal. Its toll is unrecorded; its hollow pier descends to the underworks.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.05-201
Candle-Sump District (Lower Vire)
The gut of Lower Vire — it was supposed to be a drainage ditch
The gut of Lower Vire — a drainage ditch that metastasised into a district of forty-two thousand souls, where tallow feeds the wards above, bone tags stamp the dead into existence, and the crypt-route drafts murmur names no one asked to hear.
Codex Ref. II.1.05-001
Category Two Localized Atmospheric-Scribal Disturbance
The file names the effects and leaves the cause blank
Since A.S. 194, Candle-Sump's crypt drafts have carried name-whispers, ruined paper and troubled lungs under a designation still pending review. The file names the effects; it declines to name their cause.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.20-002
Chief Clerk Dalen Voss
He holds the seal; the district holds its breath
Candle-Sump's Chief Clerk holds the seals that decide who counts as living or dead. Called the Knife, Dalen Voss commands the Bone-Tag Registry while clean slips and a pending Purity transfer order threaten his column.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-201
Crypt Mouths
The doors are sealed; the routes are maintained
The Crypt Mouths are Candle-Sump's vent alleys and sealed doors, where warm drafts carry rot-spores and whispered names from maintained burial routes. A shadow registry puts the names to work; the Bureau keeps the review pending.
Codex Ref. II.1.05-002
Inquisitor Halvyr
White-Lung — a pending transfer to a district made of paper
White-Lung carries a portable audit press and burn authority. Candle-Sump awaits a transfer still moving through Purity's approval chain; the paper is endangered before the officer arrives.
