scribeschool headcanons
- the redmont scribeschool nigel insisted be located inside the castle for both safety and convenience for his scribes.
- arald gave him the bottom two thirds of the west tower and two floors in the south wing.
- west tower holds the offices of seniors scribes and attorneys, including nigel’s. the first floor of the south wing is for junior apprentices, and the second is for senior ones.
- graduated scribes are permitted to have quarters in the castle. scribeschool has an agreement with redmont nobility to house their apprentices in exchange for occasional favors like speechwriting consultation etc.
- scribeschool uniform: black cloak with a bronze torch pin for apprentices, silver for scribes
- is run like an actual school except instead of tests they receive regular assignments, mostly dispatches that are usually run by DS apprentices to minor nobility.
- classes [pls note that im very tired and also have never been to lawyer school]: FIRST YEAR (calligraphy, history, araluen politics, public speaking, intro to global politics, the equivalent of a beginning political science class. foreign languages of ancient toscan and modern-day gallican optional but strongly recommended.)
- SECOND YEAR more in-depth study of contracts, property rights, land deeds, proper usage of evidence and citations, crafting a thesis and introduction, continued calligraphy, recent european politics, forms of protocol and address in the araluen nobility, public speaking continued (now with debate and discussion)
- THIRD YEAR introduction to economics and finance, ins and outs of araluen court system, araluen law, recent politics of the middle kingdoms and arrida, speedreading and memorization techniques (optional), further analyzation of important legal precedents, martial law
- FOURTH YEAR ins and outs of araluen tax system, economics continued, recent politics of the far east, advanced public speaking with emphasis on negotiation and presentation, [can spend time as assistants to attorneys or courtroom scribes], studying recent araluen treaties (and roasting the one that halt drew up with the skandians)
- unfortunately most scribeschools are inundated with work, especially so around George’s apprenticeship because of the war with Morgarath, so even apprentice scribes are over-tired.
- nigel tries his best to make sure everyone is fed and watered. he keeps a couple beds in a curtained-off corner for sleep-deprived scribes
- nigel has a gecko
- not everyone is superbly long-winded, pompous, and responsible!! lots of scribes honestly want to do nothing but read and?? valid
