Occupational patron of Trench-Court Clerks and front registrars, Saint Vell keeps the page dry, the lantern lit, and the dying name useful.

Scripture-Smoke
The vapour is not prophecy; it merely has the insolence to be legible

Stagehands
The Bureau sees all, preferably before witnesses

The Purity Fume-Inspector
The Bureau does not employ impartial men; it employs useful ones

Codex Ref. XII.32.01-001
