Chainmaster
The binder of binders answers for every dirty hand

Glass Chain of the White-Mantled Inquisitors
The binder is bound, and every chip is entered in the log

Bind the binder, then listen when the glass objects

Codex Ref. XII.49.03-001
Lexicon
The printer and the Warden fear the same strip of paper

The decree by which terror learned to wear white
Hildegarde of Mainz's A.S. 62 decree requiring visible white mantles for Bureau of Purity field agents, making correction legible before it struck.
