Vandahl Silver Ledger, Year 43
House Vandahl's silver-yield accounts for a failing year, annotated in a second hand that grows more desperate down the page.
Column one: silver extracted. Column two: silver owed. Indryn's neat figures run down the left; the Lord-Holder's corrections in the margin become, by the final entries, something closer to instructions to himself about what to sell next.
