Watchers maintain copious records of all persons in Avendar, using this knowledge to further their own ends. Watchers can send a message back to Office of Records, who for a fee will return a detailed dossier about the target as a note.
A quick report includes the target's, age, gender, race, and known equipment, as well as any other information left by other watchers via the record command. This will cost 3 gold pieces, due upon receipt of the file. It will take one and one-half hours to retrieve the information.
A thorough report delves into other public records, and includes how many times they have died, if they registered as a follower of almost any deity upon entering the School of Heroes and who that deity may be (not guaranteed for current accuracy), what altar they recall to, the number of times they have been marked as a criminal, and any salient standings with any known factions. This dossier costs 8 platinum pieces and will also take one and one- half hours.
A location report will reveal the specific area where the target might be found in and with whom they are grouped. Due to the difficulty, this will take at least one and one half hours and no more than four and one half hours. This service costs 2 platinum pieces.
The user need not have the money on hand; the Office of Records' agents are perfectly capable of drawing directly from the user's bank account. Should the watcher not have the funds, the dossier will simply be discarded, undelivered.
