Setting und Lore
Bristol Harbour, 1887: cargo legitimacy is made from ink, witness, weight, and institutional reputation. Sarah Croft has already violated that system to force it to examine itself. The evidence must remain period-grounded—pressure marks, iron-gall and carbon inks, watermarks, binding order, custody, tide tables, and sworn testimony; no ultraviolet lamps or modern forensic shortcuts exist.
