The Anarchist · Skarn
The Queue sorts every ship on First Drawer's docks by twelve border beacons, and a slate-and-iron Skarn called the Anarchist is burning them, one terrible couplet at a time, with charges keyed to one note of an iron reed. Abigail has until the sixth bell, and somebody has moved the next burn to shift change.
On the boardWants every border beacon burned so nobody can tell him where he belongs. Mails a rhyming couplet before each bomb. The rhymes are bad.
WhereThe Queue (street name: the Wait), Pheli. A docks ring with twelve border beacons.
How it feelsCustoms horns and eleven thousand workers changing shift.
House ruleNothing moves without a stamp, and a stamped ship can't be boarded by the Stack without a second stamp that takes a day.

Abigail's notebookThe Queue. Still standing, mostly.
The people
Skarn
Thick-skinned and loud, with a second voice box that carries a mile. They can't whisper.
Expressive, melodramatic, and surprisingly sentimental.
