Vigilant Brotherhood of Scribes

The Vigilant Brotherhood is a place of careful thought, where every word set down must be checked and corrected. Its members serve not only as the keepers of memory and history, but also as the city’s unofficial accountants, making the guild enormously powerful. Scribes report earnings, losses, and taxes to the Lord Mayor through his Praetorian Council. They copy out all reports from visiting merchants, compile information from every visitor, and notate every bill of lading and sale.
The Vigilant Scribes serve as part of Zobeck’s secret police. They know the questionable folks to whom citizens write, what people sell to the pawnbrokers and fences in the Docks, and what neighbors really think about one another. And yet they are the most modest of men, with ink-stained fingers, close-cropped hair, and shoulders hunched from long hours at a writing desk or a standing desk.
