PERSONAE · THE MIRRENMERE

Dresha Deepwarden

Sresh-Dar's elected Wreck-Warden and head of the Keepers of the Deep, who has held the salvage-rights of the drowned valley longer than any living crew can remember. She speaks little, signs nothing she will not honor, and has refused three Houses to the same word: the water is free.

Dresha came up through Sresh-Dar's oldest flooded streets as every Hessk dive-master does, and she has sat at the public salvage scale weighing other crews' take for forty seasons. She is the elected Wreck-Warden, not a monarch: licensed crews gave her the sounding-stone, and five of the seven council stones can take it back. Until then the council moves at her unhurried pace, and when she names a lane closed or a wreck spoken-for, it stays closed. She deals coldly and exactly with the Gaunt Ledger and tolerates the Silt Hands as a tide tolerates a leak, but she will close every pressure-bell quay before she lets a crown buy the salvage-rights. Surface folk find her patience unnerving; her own people find it the only thing that has kept the Free Deep theirs.

greetingSeven stones sound before Sresh-Dar binds itself. The fifth answers with another quarry's voice. I require a witness who owes this council nothing.

quest_hook{"topic":"The false sounding stone","quest":"hessk_fifth_stone","entry":"Record the quarry mark beneath every Sounding Stone. Compare the fifth against the Rose Galleries cuts and Brec's water-door tally, then bring me the name in the bronze-smith's repair ledger. Ask no councillor for permission; one of them ordered the replacement."}

quest_fork{"quest":"hessk_fifth_stone","branches":[{"key":"new_election","label":"Expose the false stone and call a new election.","say":"Then every disputed measure is struck again, in public, with seven honest voices. Expensive. Necessary."},{"key":"emergency_vote","label":"Preserve the emergency vote despite the false stone.","say":"The method was false. The flood it stopped was real. I will preserve the measure and publish the fault beside it."},{"key":"unlogged_door","label":"Give the proof to the Silt Hands.","say":"You sell civic proof for a hidden door. The city will remember the bargain even if its ledger does not."}]}

topics{"seven-stones":"A measure passes only when seven differently cut stones return one harmonic answer. Different origin is the safeguard; agreement is the law.","wreck-warden":"I hold salvage in trust, not ownership. The water is free. What it returns must still be judged."}
