Places

Place	Kind	Population	Condition	Visibility
Barleybank	SETTLEMENT	150	Approximately 150 people. Advantage: deep barley fields and experienced grain growers. Constraint: a spring drainage ditch is silting and planting cannot wait. Opportunity: a dry communal loft can preserve seed if its roof is repaired.	PUBLIC
Hearthmere	SETTLEMENT	150	Approximately 150 people. Advantage: potters and communal ovens with skilled fuel management. Constraint: local grain land is thin and fuel crews compete with roof repairs. Opportunity: durable sealed jars could reduce grain spoilage across the valley.	PUBLIC
Measure House	RESOURCE_SITE	—	Neutral exchange floor, sealed weight cupboard and tally room at the meeting of the road and landing path.	PUBLIC
Measure Valley	REGION	—	Four settlements within a day or two of a neutral exchange house, with fields, marsh, potters’ slopes and a stone road. Farther territory remains uncertain.	PUBLIC
Reedhaven	SETTLEMENT	150	Approximately 150 people. Advantage: a ferry landing and sound reed boats. Constraint: marsh ground yields little grain, so food depends on regular exchange. Opportunity: sheltered reed beds support baskets wanted by upland growers.	PUBLIC
Stonecross	SETTLEMENT	150	Approximately 150 people. Advantage: stoneworking, a stable upland road and a carefully preserved reference weight. Constraint: few oxen and steep fields limit transport capacity. Opportunity: a repairable roadside shelter could support visiting exchange witnesses.	PUBLIC

Non-secret facts

Fact ID	Domain	Statement	Visibility
barleybank-conditions	RESOURCE	Barleybank: about 150 people; deep barley fields and experienced grain growers; a spring drainage ditch is silting and planting cannot wait; a dry communal loft can preserve seed if its roof is repaired. Cold rain is collecting at the lower seed beds; the drainage crew needs a clear priority. Your storekeeper remembers delivering twenty nominal weights of grain at Measure House last winter. The receipt credited twenty, yet the emptied sacks seemed heavier than the standard accounts predicted. No one here has checked the house weight or knows why. Losing that grain left seed reserves narrow; another short exchange would matter.	PLAYERS
barleybank-contacts	CHARACTER	Ada, storekeeper: Preserve seed and receipts. Bran, ditch foreman: Drain the lower fields. Cora, seed grower: Protect good seed. Dain, cartwright: Keep carts serviceable. Esme, exchange witness: Keep promises checkable.	PLAYERS
fact-barleybank-audit-prep-turn1	INSTITUTION	Ada, Dain, and Esme calibrated empty sack and cart tare weights and established an internal balance in Barleybank. Last winter's receipts and tallies were gathered in good order for Esme's attendance at Month 2 preparation.	PLAYERS
fact-barleybank-infrastructure-turn1	RESOURCE	Bran's crew cleared the lower drainage ditch down to gravel and reinforced the embankment, draining the seed beds. The communal loft roof was re-thatched and sealed, securing dry storage for seed barley.	PLAYERS
fact-hearthmere-audit-prep-turn1	INSTITUTION	Pia and Mela reviewed internal delivery chits from last winter's emergency grain. The eighteen dependent households were protected from public stigma, and internal tallies were organized for Month 2 preparation without making external accusations.	PLAYERS
fact-hearthmere-grain-jars-turn1	RESOURCE	Lorn and the potters produced test batches of standardized ceramic grain storage jars with fitted lids tested for beeswax and clay slip sealing, preparing sample vessels for demonstration.	PLAYERS
fact-hearthmere-infrastructure-turn1	RESOURCE	Kira repaired the communal oven flue with refractory clay while baking continued safely on low-draft hearths. Noll built an elevated fuel drying rack and organized alternating shifts to patch living quarter roofs.	PLAYERS
fact-hearthmere-messenger-turn1	INSTITUTION	Hearthmere's courteous greeting was received at Measure House. Keeper Oren and Belen acknowledged the message and noted Hearthmere's plan to attend Month 2 receipt copying.	PLAYERS
fact-reedhaven-exchange-turn1	RESOURCE	Jora completed the scheduled early spring grain-for-baskets exchange at Measure House with Keeper Oren and Sella. Receipts and dual-notched tallies matched the standard delivery, and the grain boat returned safely to Reedhaven.	PLAYERS
fact-reedhaven-infrastructure-turn1	RESOURCE	Garr reinforced the loose landing post with stone ballast and fascines without disrupting boat traffic. Reed boats were inspected and found sound, and marsh foraging supplemented food stores.	PLAYERS
fact-stonecross-audit-prep-turn1	INSTITUTION	Ressa and Tovin inspected the locked reference chest and documented that the seal and cord from last year's reweighing remain intact and undamaged. Willa organized Stonecross's receipts in preparation for Month 2.	PLAYERS
fact-stonecross-infrastructure-turn1	RESOURCE	Una cut weep channels behind the shifted retaining wall and braced the slope with timber cribbing, arresting movement. Rotational hauling by hand and sledge preserved draft oxen from exhaustion.	PLAYERS
fact-stonecross-messenger-turn1	INSTITUTION	Stonecross's messenger delivered advance notice to Belen and Sella at Measure House confirming plans to send receipt copies for Month 2 preparation and the reference stone for Month 3 reweighing. Belen affirmed the customary schedule.	PLAYERS
hearthmere-conditions	RESOURCE	Hearthmere: about 150 people; potters and communal ovens with skilled fuel management; local grain land is thin and fuel crews compete with roof repairs; durable sealed jars could reduce grain spoilage across the valley. The communal oven flue needs repair before another large firing; wet fuel is piling beside the shelter. Keeper Oren arranged emergency grain for eighteen dependent households here during last winter’s shortage. People thank him for finding supplies when others could not. They know the grain arrived from Measure House, not whose deliveries paid for it. You have no proof that a weight or ledger was altered. Gratitude is strong, though some households dislike owing public favors.	PLAYERS
hearthmere-contacts	CHARACTER	Kira, oven keeper: Repair the flue safely. Lorn, potter: Demonstrate sound grain jars. Mela, household representative: Protect dependent households without humiliating them. Noll, fuel foreman: Dry fuel and avoid overwork. Pia, exchange witness: Remember help while hearing evidence.	PLAYERS
measure-map	GEOGRAPHY	Barleybank lies west of Measure House, Reedhaven a day downstream, Hearthmere south on the clay slope, and Stonecross a day northeast by road. Ordinary messengers can travel between neighboring settlements in a few days; weather and assigned labor still constrain exchanges. Beyond the familiar routes the map is uncertain.	PUBLIC
measure-procedure-custom	INSTITUTION	The annual public reweighing is already scheduled for the third month of spring, Turn 3, at Measure House. Second-month preparation copies receipt tallies and checks seals. Each community may send its witness, receipts and any reference weight. Stones and books remain under witnessed custody. After evidence and a hearing, three clan witnesses can order a one-month suspension and temporary Belen custody; all four can confirm replacement or revised custody. Censure and a documented restitution claim are available, but payment needs real resources and agreement. Regular exchanges can continue under supervision.	PUBLIC
measure-reputation-contacts	CHARACTER	Oren has kept the shared measure for twelve years and settled many exchange disputes. The four communities know him by reputation and through their witnesses. Sella keeps duplicate tallies; Belen convenes the weighing witnesses. Reputation is respected but does not guarantee truth.	PUBLIC
measure-season-conditions	WEATHER	Early spring, Year 1. Cool rain softens tracks and threatens stored seed. Ordinary food and shelter work remains necessary; no imminent regional famine, epidemic or violent catastrophe is established.	PUBLIC
reedhaven-conditions	RESOURCE	Reedhaven: about 150 people; a ferry landing and sound reed boats; marsh ground yields little grain, so food depends on regular exchange; sheltered reed beds support baskets wanted by upland growers. One landing post is loose, while the next grain-for-baskets exchange is due this month. Your people buy grain against Measure House tallies and plan boat crews around its predictable exchange days. The shared standard settles most disputes. Your witnesses have not noticed a discrepancy. An interruption would mean negotiating every boatload separately; there is food for ordinary spring work but little reserve for prolonged closure.	PLAYERS
reedhaven-contacts	CHARACTER	Fara, landing keeper: Keep grain boats moving. Garr, boat repairer: Replace the loose landing post. Hana, basket maker: Secure fair grain terms. Ivo, provisioner: Avoid skipped meals. Jora, exchange witness: Make schedules reliable.	PLAYERS
stonecross-conditions	RESOURCE	Stonecross: about 150 people; stoneworking, a stable upland road and a carefully preserved reference weight; few oxen and steep fields limit transport capacity; a repairable roadside shelter could support visiting exchange witnesses. A retaining wall has shifted above the road; hauling stone will occupy the same oxen needed for exchange. You have seen the independent reference stone kept in a dry locked chest. Tovin and Ressa witnessed its comparison with the ordinary house stone at last year’s public reweighing and resealed its cord. They can show you the intact seal. Possessing it does not reveal whether any later exchange was wrong. Taking it to the coming reweighing requires a carrier and witnesses; other uses of their time will wait.	PLAYERS
stonecross-contacts	CHARACTER	Ressa, reference custodian: Keep the seal and custody credible. Tovin, stoneworker: Keep comparisons accurate. Una, road forewoman: Stabilize the retaining wall. Vann, ox keeper: Avoid exhausting the few oxen. Willa, exchange witness: Demand inspectable claims.	PLAYERS

Institutions

Institution	Domain	Capability	Failure mode
Barleybank continuity council	Food, shelter and safe established work	Maintain stores, stop unsafe work and carry out established exchanges while seeking leadership.	Cannot create major external obligations or unlimited labor.
Common Measure	Witnessed grain weight and exchange tallies	Oren operates exchanges. Witnesses compare sealed stones and both ledgers; three of four clan witnesses may suspend the keeper for one month and appoint Belen as temporary custodian after hearing the keeper. Proven mismeasurement supports a recorded restitution claim; actual payment requires identified grain and responsible parties’ agreement. All four witnesses may confirm replacement or revised custody terms.	No army, confiscation power, magical proof or power to bind absent parties. Closure is not automatic. Disagreement may delay a remedy while witnessed exchanges continue.
Hearthmere continuity council	Food, shelter and safe established work	Maintain stores, stop unsafe work and carry out established exchanges while seeking leadership.	Cannot create major external obligations or unlimited labor.
