(Celestial Scribe drafting contract from star readings)
A quick explanation of what it is to be a Celestial Scribe (C.S.). First of all, what is it? A C.S. is a specialized draftsman of contracts. These contracts can be contracts of marriage or alliances between kingdoms (oftentimes one and the same). A C.S. can also be used to create documents of birth and death. What makes the work of a C.S. unlike any other? Simply put, they are said to be guided by the stars. Therefore, any alliance, marriage or otherwise, drafted by a C.S. is forever more considered unbreakable.
