Alen Rill
The missing hand that taught Irongate to answer out of tune
Alen Rill is the unregistered Counterkey Circle theorist whose gasket-grease progressions at Bastion-Irongate made Purity fear the crime of being correct.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-045
Breath Chapel
Mercy on credit, names under lock
At Saint-Helm's Cut, the Breath Chapel treats glass-lung, books cures as labour debt, and locks away names the quarry would gladly turn into quotas.
Codex Ref. II.2.05-002
Flawless Claimants
They seek a pane that cannot refuse; the Seal House can
Kiln workers, proof brokers and at least one cantor seek the True Pane: Oathglass that would authenticate anything. The Seal House calls this heresy; the Claimants call it liberation.
Codex Ref. XI.7.02-002
Guildmaster Orr Vetch
The mountain sings; the Guildmaster counts
Guildmaster Orr Vetch controls tools, kilns and rosters at Saint-Helm's Cut. A singing mountain earns no concession; the deep-gallery quotas rise.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-201
Oathglass
The glass breaks the light; the Seal House decides what it proves
Oathglass lets the Church read holiness through a stamped pane. At Saint-Helm's Cut, clarity costs lungs, and the seams answer names the hymn-cards omit.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.22-002
Oathglass Quarrytown, Saint-Helm's Cut
The mountain proves what the Seal House permits
A highland quarrytown built inside a volcanic-glass cleft that the Synod has declared a certified sacred site. The glass proves relics. The workers cough. The mountain, lately, has begun to sing.
Codex Ref. II.2.05-001
Orr Vetch
The Guildmaster counts; the quarry coughs
Orr Vetch holds the tools, kiln time and quotas at Saint-Helm's Cut. Every cure debt returns as another shift; every shift passes through his office.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-201
Pane-Guild
The Guild owns the hours; the mountain disputes the contract
The Pane-Guild controls Saint-Helm's tools, kiln time, quotas and commissary scrip. It calls this quality and safety; the workers must redeem their hunger at the same counter.
Codex Ref. XI.2.05-102
The Great Hush
Nine hours of silence, three thousand dead, and a century of licensed throats
The Great Hush of A.S. 94 collapsed Irongate's Third Lung, killed three thousand, birthed the Gasket Choir, and made silence into evidence, office, law, and cudgel.
Codex Ref. VII.4.24-001
The Third Lung
The chamber silence killed and law kept using
The Third Lung is Bastion-Irongate's sealed acoustic wound: three thousand dead, sixteen days of knocking, and a wall still useful to law.
Codex Ref. II.4.24-095
The Underchords
The Irongate's cellar has learned to grow
The eleven miles of sealed corridors and denied tunnels beneath Bastion-Irongate — home to the Underchord Cartel, the Counterkey Circle, and a gallery that grows by itself in the dark.
Codex Ref. II.4.10-001
Transit Spine
The road through stone that cannot survive silence
The Transit Spine is Irongate's load-bearing road through the mountain: rail throat, chant corridor, pressure instrument, and courtroom for breath.
Codex Ref. II.4.24-072
