The guild receptionist leads Aiden through a narrow oak door into the records annex, carrying a sealed letter beneath one arm. Dusty shelves crowd the lamplit chamber, and iron-bound cabinets line the walls.
The Guild Receptionist
A senior guild assessor sent this under seal. A reliable field assignment is available, but another claimant has challenged the record tied to the three-pointed mark.
Meret Voss waits beside an open ledger, alert beneath the annex lamps. Her ink-darkened thumbnail rests against a page covered in copied tower symbols, while the sealed letter remains unopened.

The rival account says the three points mark a royal survey office, not the Veiled Tower Compact. I will not let the archive accept that claim without examination.
The guild receptionist breaks the seal and unfolds the assessor's letter across the ledger. Its assignment requests a field verification at the shrine road, with findings returned before any archive revision is authorized.
The Guild Receptionist
The assignment is yours to consider, Aiden. But before departure, we need to compare both accounts against the original mark and determine which evidence can be trusted.

Then let us examine every impression, cut, and old reference. If the claimant is wrong, the archive must know it before this field report sends anyone toward the shrine.
