Lower District Tithe Office
The counter burned; the obligation survived
The Lower District Tithe Office in Bastion-Königsberg burned during the A.S. 139 Widow Riot against compulsory Widow’s Pennies. The counter and its records burned; the obligation survived.
Codex Ref. III.2.04-1673
Tithe Assessor
The Bureau's walking appetite; or, what it costs to weigh the widow's salt
The Tithe Assessor is the Bureau of Tithes' primary field instrument — a man with scales, seal cord, and an armed escort who determines whether a family's payment purchases another week of existence. He arrives. He weighs. He chalks the door.
Codex Ref. XII.46.01-001
Widow's Pennies
A penny enters the palm and waits for the scale
The Widow's Pennies are the Bureau of Tithes' smallest perfected cruelty: bereavement turned into household continuity, route discipline, and receipt.
