To all who pass this door, be they burgher, journeyman, soldier or vagabond:
The scriptorium of Kuttenberg keeps the realm's record. What is not written is forgotten, and what is forgotten never happened.
Therefore bring me your news. A wedding, a feud, a duel fought fair or foul, a fortune made in silver or lost at dice, a stranger seen on the Sázava road at night. Tell it to me, or write it here beneath this notice, and if it is true and worth the ink, it goes into the chronicle.
I pay nothing for gossip. I pay in something better: your name, remembered.
Edric, Scribe
at his desk, by the light of a poor candle
— Edric the Scribe
(Out of character: reply in character with rumours, news and happenings from your own role-play. The best of them may end up in the realm's broadsheet.)
Lords forget. Parchment remembers.
Edric, Scribe of the Realm - the scriptorium, Kuttenberg
