The Names Stay Unwritten

The Butcher of Tessaly · Krai

Kellen walks the Butcher of Tessaly through the Graveyard World with the lamps off, past one hundred nine marker clusters, while the cold shuts the marble folds of the man beside him. A ferry leaves at the Short Bell, and the place lets no visitor go without a name told once by mouth.

On the boardWar criminal. The darkest name on the board. Nobody makes a joke on this one, and the Apples do it with the lights off.

WhereThe Graveyard World (street name: the Seed Field), The Goom. A ruined world where the darkest name on the board was a war criminal.

How it feelsGray soil, silent markers.

House ruleEvery visitor must carry one name away, told once by mouth and never written.

PeopleKrai, from Krail

Abigail's notebookMonday. Before.

The world's called Mora-Ruu, and it's a field, one hundred nine clusters of stones and every stone blank, and the Sorrel grandmothers plant it and tend it. I've had the rules read to me twice. No light in the Long Hour. No cameras. And no names written down. Not by anybody, not on anything, ever. You can be given one, by mouth, and then you carry it.

The people

Krai

Cold-blooded, with a body temperature that follows the room. They slow when it's cold and strike fast when it's warm.

Calm, calculating, and impossible to read.

ALSO ON THE BOARD: Mr. Kreshul (15), The Widow (41), The Debt Collector (63)
