A man from the Rootwood was arrested in a shocking case of counterfeit Masterpiece Seals. The Mycelian allegedly owned and operated a counterfeit “masterpeace seel” scheme using the papyrus scroll store as a front. He was finally caught when, at a local tithing well, he began bragging to an accountant about receiving a seal.
“I'm the one in tune here. So in tune, I got a seal. Not like this Sludge-Note!”
The illiterate criminal then proceeded to attempt to sell said seal to the increasingly annoyed accountant. That pushed our accountant over the edge. He then proceeded to violently assault the counterfeiter and garner a rare shred of respect from onlookers for accountants everywhere.
The Gendarme were summoned and both were promptly arrested. Upon further investigation, evidence suggests the counterfeiter, later discovered named Frond Spore-Scribe, had been using sheep skin to make the vellum. Fake and misspelled weaves were also used, furthering the deception. A staggering amount of dissonance was found absorbed into the vellum—likely the cause of the negative reactions. Counterfeiter Spore-Scribe was hospitalized due to injuries and is scheduled to be released in a sev-night. He has been found guilty on all charges and sentenced to one month in the Pit, followed by two years at Willow’s Grace Retreat, Husbandry farm to ensure his debt is paid.
“Contracts bound in ink, defended in bone.”
After a landmark ruling, the blue ink ban has been officially repealed. New information has surfaced proving it was not the color of the ink causing the reactions, but the manufacturer of the vellum upon which they were written. Interconnected? Somehow, Yes.
Historical Exhibit Memo: When Gendarme entered the printing shop, the door became violently ill with respiratory issues, requiring high doses of antihistamines. No ink of blue coloring was found in the premises, completely vindicating the pigment.
