The Tacit Tessera Book

Every skill a plate.

Browse by sector first, then by house, track, family and trade. Each plate carries its own number and its collector's mark, so nothing on this wall depends on colour alone. Every person shown in this register is invented and marked EXAMPLE; every entry reads Specified.

The six sectors

A sector is the first letter of every number. It says what kind of work a skill set belongs to, and it decides what the family digit and the trade code mean after it.
