Black Seal Prelate

Codex Ref. XIII.1.70-002
Bone-Tag clerks
The corpse needs a name; the living need the clerk's permission

Concordat Annex 14-C

Codex Ref. XII.17.01-001

Codex Ref. III.2.01-123
Hagiography
The saints a profession keeps before the Church decides

Codex Ref. XIII.1.01-1299
Identity Fraud
A stolen name buys bread; an authorised alteration earns a salary

Ledger Duellist / Citation Advocate
Where the sword would be excessive and the firing squad irreversible, the Synod reaches for its ink

Codex Ref. XII.26.01-001
Ledgerists
What has not been entered did not happen. Purity is careful to enter everything.

The stones were clean; the paper was not

Cologne Citation Advocate and Ledger Duellist whose week of three duels struck a rival household from standing, bread, gates, contracts, and consecrated earth.
Codex Ref. III.2.01-128
Mortuary Black
The ink that keeps the name and murders the claimant
Mortuary Black is the Bureau of Records compound for Administrative Dissolution: iron-gall, bone ash, Rites seal, and enough silence to make a name visible and unusable.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.01-002
Mortuary Index
The dead receive a line. The erased receive nothing.
The Bureau of Records acknowledges the dead one name at a time. A line in the Mortuary Index records a recognised death; the erased receive none. I certify the distinction.

Null Verge
Where the ledger ends and the carts begin

Null Verge carts
The count is corrected; the tags remain blank
The Null Verge Custodians' tag carts remove bodies from the Queue Road. In autumn A.S. 200, Gate Nine closed for sanitation and the dead exceeded their capacity. The count required correction; the tags required no ink.
