Gundvarr

Stonewrit buys its whole bread ration off Gundvarr, some 900 hundredweight of oats and hard wheat hauled up the cut stair between April and October, and settles half of it in embassy lodging rather than coin. Gundvarr has asked four times to have the account struck in metal and cut, and Stonewrit's clerks keep sending paper.

Gundvarr answers to the Seventh Gate and sends a tenth of Quellborne's crop up the Anvil Stair each autumn as gate tribute, 600 hundredweight carried at its own cost past three tolls that stand at full rate. Karagunn takes the tribute, counts it against the granary's gate course, and has declined for nine years to say what the count now stands at.

Four names and thirty hired clerks eat out of Ashgrave's yard, all of it Gundvarr grain sent up on the Corvantine hundredweight and converted at the bar to the dwarven weight at a rate Ashgrave has never accepted. The yard pays the difference and lodges a note of protest with its own records office each quarter.

Sekhemra takes 500 hundredweight of oats and the whole of Gundvarr's chaff each October for its horse lines, and the two houses have shared a weighbridge since 806. Sekhemra settles in bar iron at Vurrgast's price, which suits the granary and irritates everyone who wanted the crop sold for coin.

The counting-house and its staff of forty eat Gundvarr grain, and since the roll closed the granary has sold to Shizuhana for cash at the gate and nothing on account. Shizuhana pays and posts the transaction, which is more than two warm houses at Quellborne manage.

Gundvarr's sell Thurmgrim's five hundred quarters of oats a year, cash at the weighing yard before the wagons move. Gundvarr's factor puts the reason in writing every autumn: a hold with no living name cannot be sued in clan law, only inherited from.

Oats and cart-horse fodder for the iron road come down from Gundvarr, four hundred hundredweight a year. It is weighed on a Kazdrunn hundredweight and paid for in koku, and since neither house will concede whose measure governs, the difference has been split every year for sixty.

Sorrenmark's camp at the road fork covers Gundvarr, which pays for the cover in 1,200 hundredweight of oats delivered to the remount pastures rather than in coin. The granary would rather have its own men on the terrace and cannot get the survey to license a wall longer than the compound it already has.

Vantrose advances Gundvarr 800 crowns each March against the standing oat crop at a tenth, secured since 815 on the weighing-yard receipts. A wet August above Quellborne is felt in the Milestone Fee vault before it is felt in the fields.

Quellborne holds the gravel gravel banks and Gundvarr holds the cart weighing yard on the road above them, and the porterage schedule was revised in 818 without the wharves hearing of it until the first pack train refused to load. Every Aurelmarch shipper can recite what porterage cost before the revision, and all of them still ship.
