Sarventhal

Sarventhal holds a 12,000-silver bond of Shizuhana's drawn before the last name went out of the house, and sends a clerk down the north road every third year to have it read at the gate. The ledgers at Shizuhana are still posted monthly by staff nobody has authority over, and Sarventhal copies them because they are the only account of the Emberrun landing anyone can obtain.

Cistern Nineteen takes Sorrenmark' engineer cadets for a season each on the canyon cisterns, and Sorrenmark pays 800 silver a season and a legion survey of the north road every fifth year. The survey is the larger half of the fee and appears in the Corvantine accounts as road maintenance.

Cistern Nineteen carries nine of the perpetual washing shares Dunmoral's underground passages draw on, at a millet rent set in 604 that still stands. The rent is now worth roughly a third of what a share fetches at the records office.

Sarventhal has petitioned the records office eleven times to reopen the 604 rate. Dunmoral answers each petition with the text cut into a tomb wall at Dunmoral, which Sarventhal cannot deny without asking the family that owns the grave to open it.

Reach junior registrars read level-books at Sarventhal for two years before they are trusted with a marked stair, forty marks a head, payable whether the clerk finishes or not. Vorlaine sends six a year and has complained about the arithmetic teaching in four of the last five.

Wexhollow's entire supply is bought by the share off Cistern Nineteen and re-priced at the records office every year. Wexhollow has not held the share at one rate for two years running and budgets for the raise before it is announced.

In 782 a crew out of Wexhollow weighted one of its own dead into a draw above Cistern Nineteen, in the northern manner, and the records office struck Wexhollow's share for the season. The reinstatement fee was paid without argument and the records office has left the entry on the file.

Nine hundred sacks of barley and lentils a year go up the cavern road from Umbermere to Sarventhal's vault house, settled in cistern water rather than coin. Umbermere books the draw and Sarventhal books the sacks, and the two totals have not agreed since 774.

Cindralis silver refinanced the quarrying of Cistern Nineteen in 786, on an Amasekan instrument sealed in Amasekan order. The Reach records office will not lodge a paper sealed out of its own order, so the loan can only be pleaded at the Forge, and Sarventhal has not tested whether that is the worse forum.
