Breatheries
Where Irongate teaches lungs to become paperwork

Choir Warden
The lesser knife in the aisle, listening for the note that ruins a household

Commandant Hadrik Sorn
The man who keeps the mountain alive by deciding what may die

The Great Hush
Nine hours of silence, three thousand dead, and a century of licensed throats

The Shaft Priory
An unchartered kettle where mercy becomes structural

The Third Lung
The chamber silence killed and law kept using
