Tabbah 7788 Sandstone Audit
By Celebyuin Hui'nalyw

Scribe of the Sublime Garden
Office of Means and Measure

There stirred a growing concern among the populace, namely a few white league partisan firebrands, that the trade of favor with the Ex-Legate Balstan Gloamingdaith and the Dragon Legate Argent lead to exceeding favors with the Legates to ensure the Dragon's wild, sweeping declarations in the final three days of the Gilded Pyramid.

To contest these matters I was cordially invited to an "Audit" of Sandstone College. Therein a number of discoveries made but among them the emphasis was upon the Student Dormatories - For the former Legate only had access to such a room.

Therein I inspected matters and made inquiries. And therein I found a number of books, a great deal of furniture, and further.

Enclosed in this report are my findings.

Beastman Shield
Potion Cauldron

Interest though came in the list of Books, as it is of course a wide repository of the Scholars of the City. Herein is their Catalog. A few volumes were checked of value at the famed emporium of illustrious scholar Rashid al-Rashid.

All in with comparison to the Legal texts and Rashids, an estimated sum of 6-7000 dinar in Books given the rarity and condition of some of the earlier edition works of the Library. A fine collection cultivated by dozens of students since the Institution opened its doors to the public and began taking in tution and students.

The only matters of concern was twofold:

Firstly a number of "Black Market" tomes, circulated often among the Creep and by less savory sources. That is a cause of concern but it in fact adds some value to the collection to have rarer additions to the collection which did catch my eye.

Secondly: A number of tome son the so called Ninth Spoke. Very grim to see take hold in such an institution. However it is not a matter of dinar so once more - having rare and esoteric black marketries in fact adds to a collection's value.

The only other expenses laid upon by my eyes were of Furnishing and Furniture.

While the grand total of this collection of furniture sit at 27,910 Dinar by most estimates, that puts roughly the net sum of 33-34,000 dinar of combined books and furnishings.

However it is so too important to note that this is an accumulated collection over months. A great deal of donations made in 7787, from Baz'eelan students such as Faisal, eccentric scholar such as Caster Cro, and many others.

As shared in final word from Former Legate Balstan Gloamingdaith -

"The Sandstone College is a private institute ran by the Benefactor and other donors from Baz'eel.  As we are cognisant that certain baseless allegations have been laid before us, however, we have humbly invited the audit to prove - our continued commitment towards the touchstones of transparency and service to Ephia's Well."

May this bring transparency to affairs.

End Report.
