Seal
Public records clerk
Registry House
Registry House’s sharp-eyed records clerk, called Seal because bad paperwork rarely survives their desk.
Neris Tal signs official documents with their full name. Mirecross calls them Seal. The name is affectionate when spoken by people they have helped and considerably less affectionate when spoken by people carrying forged forms.
The desk that catches things
Seal is brisk with everybody and especially kind to people who admit they are confused. They wear slate finger guards while sorting paper and can often identify the institution that issued a form from stock, ink, and cut before reading the seal.
A family of seal-cutters
They grew up above a seal-cutting shop and joined public service after discovering that a forged transfer had separated a rescued creature from its rehabilitation record. The creature was recovered. The missing months in its history were not.
Dates before birth
A run of transfer requests has arrived in perfect procedural order except for provenance dates that precede the creatures’ births. Seal has stopped calling them clerical mistakes.
