Cold Hold Reeve Ledger Alcove
Overview
Cold Hold Reeve Ledger Alcove is a ledger office in a stone niche behind the sea-cliff berth reeve's desk. Carbon-slate copy plates sit in bead-index order: debt-clan lines, Guild-honor counters, and hold-kin witness marks. Courtesy audits are allowed when both clans agree; copies leave only with a reeve's counter-bead. The heat-curtain at the desk does not fully seal, so foundry smoke and berth noise reach the alcove.

- narrow ledger niche behind the sea-cliff reeve desk — carbon-slate racks, bead-index, one clerk's stool
- tone
- Quiet ledger niche with posted courtesy-audit rules
- senses
- Imperfect heat-curtain hiss, brass lamp on carbon-slate, foundry smoke, distant bead-clicks from the berth, iron smell and copied ink
- occupantSummary
- Junior ledger clerks; hold-reeves on rotation; the odd courtesy-audit guest; Halda Stone-Braid when the desk is hers
- hazards
- Copying without counter-bead reads as honor-theft; the wrong line names the wrong kin; Halda may already know you're coming; a gift given wrong shames the crew before the hold-moot
- connections
- Opens on the sea-cliff berth reeve desk; rite-hall district upslope; hold-moot chambers if a dispute escalates
- travelNote
- Enter only through the dock-desk threshold with a booked courtesy window or a reeve's invitation; the alcove has no other door
- factionTies
- Cold Hold hold-moot and iron courts; debt-clan and Guild-honor beadwork; Stone-Braid and Ash-Braid kin lines on the target plate
