Return to Weevil Year
Alfold
The plain that remembered hooves after hunger learned to count
The Alfold was the cattle plain of old Hungary, where herds vanished with Debrecen's stores and the registers survived the hooves they were made to count.
Codex Ref. II.4.09-046
Auxiliary Store Warden
The keys are lawful; what they unlock is another question.
The licensed granary custodian whose scales, keys and ration ledgers give Grain Keepers lawful access to food. Some Wardens keep honest books; the Bureau cannot tell which by the flour on their sleeves.
Codex Ref. XII.8.02-001
Bureau of Agriculture
The office that owned the wheat, but never the air inside the silo
The dissolved Bureau of Agriculture once governed seed, soil, yield, storage, and famine reports before the Weevil Year let Tithes inherit its grain authority.
Codex Ref. VIII.4.02-001
Cellar Warden
The keys are unlawful; the bread is still required
The Cellar Warden guards a district's concealed grain, coordinates clerks and runners, and keeps reserves edible. The Bureau prosecutes the keys while quietly relying on what they unlock.
Codex Ref. XII.13.08-001
Famine Interest
The loaf is eaten; the obligation survives
Famine interest advances bread against property, silence, service, and persons. The Hunger Broker's ledger compounds because the debtor keeps eating.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.13-001
Famine of A.S. 157
Every missing sack had a receipt
In A.S. 157, western districts starved after granary requisitions and sealed-silo rot. Tithes taxed the widows; Agriculture wrote the report and inherited the blame.
Codex Ref. VII.4.21-002
First Ration Reforms
The year hunger became portable, printable, and politely deniable
The A.S. 104 First Ration Reforms standardised ration chits across eight provinces, making hunger legible to Tithes and teachable to Grain Keeper fraud.
Codex Ref. VII.8.10-037
Iberia
The western furnace kneels, pays, murmurs, burns, and remembers
Iberia is the Synod's western furnace: a sealed peninsula of relic ash, late Concordat obedience, Seville mutters, Toledo martyrdom, pilgrimage roads, British guns at Gibraltar, and memory too old to confiscate cleanly.
Codex Ref. II.1.04-090
Lombardy
A rich province is merely rebellion with orchards
Lombardy is the Synod's rich northern Italian problem: orchard, loom, road, supper-table, drowned schism, corrected alphabet, and a province bowed just low enough to keep remembering.
Codex Ref. II.3.09-150
The Cradle Decree A.S. 157
The receipt issued before the first cry
The A.S. 157 Cradle Decree made pregnancy taxable, entering the unborn into the Ledger before birth and calling the cruelty provision.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.83-157
Widow's Pennies
A penny enters the palm and waits for the scale
The Widow's Pennies are the Bureau of Tithes' smallest perfected cruelty: bereavement turned into household continuity, route discipline, and receipt.
Codex Ref. XIII.1.85-065
