Rarity: legendary
Entry: #3
Lore
A difficulty. The same sword arrives under nine different names depending on who found it. I have ruled that the Codex records the PATTERN and not the instance. This ruling was not popular with the smiths, who feel their sword should get its own page, and it is going to keep not being popular.
How to unlock On the Naming of Things
Unlocks at level 10. Nothing to collect — just keep playing.

Assignment
legendaryI have been posted to the near side of the Veil and instructed to catalogue it. The instruction says "it". I asked which part. The reply, which took eleven days, says "it".
Scope
legendaryPreliminary count of things requiring an entry: four hundred and thirty-one varieties of weapon and armour before I have left the armoury. I have written to request a second clerk. I have written to request a first clerk.
The Stair
legendaryWent down as far as the second gallery. There is a spider there who keeps records of her own, in thread, of everyone who came down and did not come up. Professionally I recognise the impulse. I did not say so.
Two Answers
legendaryThe Wardens hold that the Veil is a wall. The Seekers hold that it is a door. Both delegations have now visited my office to explain that the Codex must reflect the correct position. I have entered both positions, side by side, on the same page. Both delegations left unhappy, which I take as the entry being right.
Regarding the Cheese
legendaryA thing calling itself Grand Fromage has been terrorising the eastern road. I am required to catalogue it. I have catalogued it. I want it on record that I catalogued it in full, with measurements, and that at no point did anybody explain the cheese to me.
The Rift
legendaryApproved for travel by Rift, which is not a place but a distance made briefly walkable. It charges rent by the minute. On my first crossing something that was unmistakably a boot went past me at speed. I have opened a file. The file is empty and I expect it to stay that way.
