Cuiveril

Cuiveril has taught the records office clerks of the Natron Shelves for six generations, twelve at a time on a three-year course at forty crowns the head, and the reading of surface opening intervals is taught out of Cuiveril's own copies. Ravenscarp has asked for the copies and been offered lessons.

Drennhold sends four clerks a year down to Cuiveril to be taught the file on the underground passage boundary, so both sides of the annual disagreement between the two registries are drafted by men taught in the same room off the same shelf. Cuiveril charges the hold the Reach rate and leaves the coincidence out of the invoice.

Meldrath has taken no Reach entrant since the house went cold, and Cuiveril has since had nine of its lecturers and its main incomes treaty-jurisprudence course. Meldrath's proctors still send the Forge an annual list of Cuiveril's poaching, and the Forge still files it.

Cuiveril holds Solmiryn's charter roll, taken in for copying in 91 AF and still in its vault, and every Aurelmarch timber suit turning on the ridge-gap weighbridge is now pleaded from a Cuiveril copy at two silver the sheet. Two Corvantine houses have asked the Forge who owns a cracked house's papers, and the question has been held over since 660.

A dozen of Brakkenstone's test clerks are at Cuiveril at any time, on a three-year course in records office form and Sekhemrite water accounting at ninety silver a head a year. Brakkenstone pays in refined silver by weight and takes a copy of the test tables as part of the fee, which is the only part of the arrangement its clan assembly has ever approved.

Isperil's practice runs on the set of the eleven indirect-killing rulings it bought from Cuiveril's archive in 771, and the reading fee is renewed annually while the copies are not. Cuiveril has offered the current set four times, at a price Isperil has four times declined.

Cuiveril draws its household water off Vorlaine's cisterns, sixty jars a day in the dry months at a rate fixed by the settlement of 812, and the ash-garden takes as much again. Vorlaine has held the rate for nine years and asked three times for a reader's place in the archive, which Cuiveril grants aloud and will not write down.

The archive burns four hundred bundles of pine a winter to keep the vault dry, slid down off the Matsugane bluffs and carted up the Pardah gravel. Kurohane takes payment as two places a year at Cuiveril rather than coin, and values the places above the freight.

Four marriages between Vaethril and Cuiveril in two centuries, which is how Vaethril's filings reach a Lorehall willing to find a precedent at short notice. Cuiveril's archivists put the arrangement no higher than kinship.
