The Chronicle
A sheet of the Order carries no number and no certificate. It does not need one: every sheet the pen has made is written here, in the open — a note by its seed, a second by its moment, a sheet of the Bazaar by the second the pen drew it. What is in your hands is on this page, and will be as long as the page stands.
The roll
Each line is one sheet: what it is, the seed or the moment it was drawn from, the day, and the seconds the pen spent on it. Nothing here says who asked.
Take any moment to the press and the same drawing comes back, down to the last curve — the law that draws a sheet is public, so the register can be checked by anyone, which is the only kind of honest there is. The sheet in your hands says its second on the back; find it here.
One keeper. One pen. Every second accounted for, and none of them yours to lose.
