The Provost Office

Post by Finley Ward »

Centre of operations, and located directly next to Pax Balthasar's portal, the Provost Office deals not only with the incoming and outgoing traffic of Pax (though at the moment it leans more heavily on incoming), but also with the allocation of homes to the new citizens, the allotment of food supplies, and as a base of operations for the Provost Marshall. Despite it's importance, the building itself is rather unimpressive. Larger than the other wooden buildings, but not by a great deal, it looks rapidly constructed with an eye to speed and practicality rather than design or taste. It has two stories, and a wide veranda on which is parked a desk, and usually a soldier of the Pax Honestus right behind it - made strikingly visible against the dark wood in a royal blue uniform.

Inside, a wide hallway leads off to a pair of small offices, a record room, and a back room with a sturdy, locked door in which supplies and food are kept. Up a very basic wooden staircase three small rooms contain bedrolls and scant personal effects, the rooms kept for soldiers on duty or for those of high enough rank to avoid sleeping in a tent like many of the others.

The whole building is somewhat dark, especially late at night, and contains only a few lanterns and candles and no fireplace or windows to speak of. One tatty rug - apparently hauled all the way from World's Mouth through mud and fields by its condition - graces the floor of the hallway downstairs in a vain attempt the make the new building appear lived in and inviting. An aroma of freshly cut wood fills the air - and the walls occasionally creak and groan in the wind, in the cold or rain. They are very new and still settling in - and they hold this in common with practically everything and everyone in Pax.
