PERSONAE · THE VALE

Lethen Saro

The Listening-Post's copyist and a quiet Censor under Sevenn — decides, page by page, what the College is allowed to remember.

Lethen sits at the locked stacks with a knife, a brush, and a list, and the list is the point. Every tuning the Listeners bring back is written up here; Lethen copies what may be kept, redacts what may not, and burns the rest, all on Sevenn's quiet judgement. They are a Censor by conviction, not cowardice: they have read the pages that should not exist and agree they should not. They watch newcomers the way a librarian watches a flame near the shelves — politely, and without once looking away — and will give nothing from the stacks that Sevenn has not already weighed the newcomer worthy to carry.

greetingDon't lean on the stacks. I'm Lethen, the College's copyist. I write up what the Listeners bring back — and decide, with the Archivist, what is fit to be remembered and what is fit to burn. Browse the open shelves if you like. The locked ones are locked for cause.

topics{"stacks":"Every tuning comes back here as words, and words outlive the wisdom to handle them. So I copy what may be kept, redact what may not, and burn the rest. It looks like censorship. It is. I've read the pages I burn, and I agree with the fire.","censors":"We are the Censors — the part of the College that remembers some things are better unsaid. Inya thinks us cowards. Inya has not read what I've read. Sevenn has, and keeps us close for it.","sevenn":"The Archivist keeps the stacks and the judgement both. Soft-spoken, exhaustively read, the only one here who's imagined every way this knowledge goes wrong. If Sevenn hands you a forbidden answer, it means Sevenn judged you'll use it well. Don't make a liar of that judgement."}
