Fog-Reader
Every household owes a voice; the sea promises nothing
Calais's Fog-Readers speak the Script Wall's names under Protocol 9-C. The Church owns their night voices; the sea decides what the reading buys.
Codex Ref. XII.13.02-201
Salt Tribunal Row
The street where the sea is stamped before it is permitted to drown you
Salt Tribunal Row is Calais reduced to a damp street: counters above the Pens, names from the Wall, and departure sold window by window.
Codex Ref. II.4.09-084
The Script Wall
Fog is only weather until it spells your mother's name
At the Chalk Redoubt of Calais, fog writes names on seventy feet of exposed chalk; readers speak them before the sea decides who was meant.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.14-001
