Elite Scribe

Rebecca, the Elite Scribe

Rebecca isn’t just a copyist; she’s one of the five highest-ranking Scribes in the city’s powerful Scriptorium Major, a towering library-fortress. Her rank comes with a singular, dangerous privilege: direct access to the most ancient, protected, and politically volatile documents, including portions of the Obsidian Ledger.

Rebecca possesses the rare ability of Ink-Sense. She can discern the emotional state and intent of the original writer simply by touching the parchment, and she can spot a forgery instantly, no matter how perfect the ink matches.

Rebecca is tasked with verifying a new entry to the Obsidian Ledger, the official history of a recent political upheaval and the exile of the powerful House of Theron. As she performs her duty, her Ink-Sense screams a warning. Rebecca realizes the entire foundation of Veridia’s governance is built on a lie she has just been asked to legitimize.
