Ink & Iron Registry
"Make it official. Make it binding."
Owner: Quillmaster Perran Soot Location: Civic Quarter, Turnbuckle Town Number in Employ: 23 clerks, 6 notaries, 1 ink-servitor Known For: Team charters, waivers, liability blessings, and prize documentation
Ink & Irons is the quiet throat of Turnbuckle's adventure economy. If you want a team name recognized, a contract enforceable, or a sponsor unable to wriggle out of payment, you come here. The hall smells like wax and iron shavings, and every desk has a small bell that makes a sound like a verdict.
Quillmaster Perran Soot speaks softly and stamps loudly. Jessa Wint is a junior notary who still believes rules can protect people, which makes her dangerous in this town. The Registry also keeps Brother Hollow, an ink-servitor that never blinks and never forgets a signature once it has tasted it.
