Submitted to the Imperial Office of Civil Administration by Warden-Scribe Aldous Verath, Office of Records and Correspondence, Third Floor, Imperial Hall, Quelavar-Thessavar Ur-Empire Year 1 of the Continuous Calendar (retroactively assigned) Re-published with annotations by the Goldmere Institute of Historical Studies, Year 2280 CC
Publisher's note, Year 2280 CC: The following document is reproduced in full from the original administrative filing recovered from the Quelavar ruins in Year 2231 CC by the Verdant Kingdoms scholarly expedition. The original is written in formal Ur-Empire administrative script. This translation is considered definitive. Annotations in brackets are editorial additions by the Institute and were not present in the original. The original document bears no date, as the dating system it establishes had not yet been formally adopted at the time of writing — a circumstance the author addresses directly in the text.
