Survey abstract

Mirecross grew around crossings rather than a palace, mine, or fortress. Its authority comes from the simple fact that records, freight, travelers, and creatures have been passing through the same wet streets for generations.

Old Causeway

The oldest stone rises only a little above ordinary floodwater, which is why ground-floor doors along the causeway still carry paired thresholds. Longtime residents claim the lower one is for people and the upper one is for Mirecross weather.

A city of records

Registry House, First Reed, the Collegium offices, Crosswater Bazaar, Circle halls, and the Brass Heron all keep different ledgers. A person who has lived in Mirecross long enough is usually recorded somewhere even if they would prefer otherwise.

The Understep

The legal night market occupies the upper arches beneath the causeway. Behind unmarked doors and temporary shutters, fixers connect the city to private routes, Belowmarket, and the wider Underways. Registry patrols know this. So do the stallholders.
