|Value 201 - Story-backed = "I have my doubts," says the Solicitor-Baroness. "But the stories are important to the Bazaar. We understand that. The Creditor always seeks to make its deals based on terms that matter to the other party."
|Value 202 - Lacre-imbued = "The lacre was welcome, of course. In fact, that gesture gave the Creditor ambitious plans for the future monstrosity of the Neath. […] I still believe we could have held out for more concessions... but then, my client has leverage now. […]"
|Value 203 - Story-backed and lacre-imbued = "I have my doubts," says the Solicitor-Baroness. "But the stories are important to the Bazaar. We understand that. The Creditor always seeks to make its deals based on terms that matter to the other party. And the lacre was welcome, of course. […]"
|Value 204 - Soul-tied = "It was not a generous settlement […] But it had a value to my client […] Tying each coin to a specific individual […] that has real value. There are certain humans in the Neath these days whom it would be very important to keep under suitable controls." [...]
|Value 205 - Soul-tied and story-backed = "[…] the stories are important to the Bazaar. […] And tying each coin to a specific individual, of course: that has real value. […]"<p>"[…] I know the census is imperfect. […] But it is still an admission […] that certain people are the Bazaar's responsibility. […]"
|Value 206 - Soul-tied and lacre-imbued = "It was not a generous settlement," […] "I had hoped for more. But it had a value to my client, all the same. Some governance over humans; a permission of space for that which is inhuman. A well-considered arrangement in its way."
|Value 208 - Evenlode-aligned = The Solicitor-Baroness sucks air through her mouth-parts. "It is an arrangement that we could just about accept[…]But it is aggressive, unfriendly; it refers everything to a court, and rests nothing on amicable arrangements between the parties.[…]"
|Value 209 - Evenlode-aligned and story-backed = […] "Stories and law-suits," she says. "We did accept the arrangement; […] But the whole of the deal is composed of threats and punishments, things to befall the Bazaar if the relationship should crumble. It is all sting and no honey."
|Value 210 - Evenlode-aligned and lacre-imbued = […] "Lacre for friendship, and a boundary-court for the disputes," […] "It is the kind of compact that one monster makes with another. The Creditor found it hopeful. I put a little less credence in the success of these arrangements... but we will see. […]"
|Value 211 - Evenlode-aligned, story-backed, and lacre-imbued<br>213 - Evenlode-aligned, story-backed, and soul-tied<br>214 - Evenlode-aligned, lacre-imbued, and soul-tied = […] "It was a rich settlement," […] "Almost everything I thought we had reason to hope for. The Creditor is very pleased. I put a little less credence in the success of these arrangements, but we will see. Water the cedar, and make sure it doesn't wilt."
|Value 212 - Evenlode-aligned and soul-tied = "Soul-ties and the Evenlode court," she says. "Shall I tell you how I read it? The Bazaar is tired of his city and weary of his Masters. He will not mind if he has to send them away to be punished by some contrasting authority." She clicks her jaw. […]
|Value 215 - Evenlode-aligned, story-backed, lacre-imbued, and soul-tied = […] "It is a very generous arrangement," […]<p>[…] "Don't grow complacent. The arrangement is a good one, but it is not foolproof.  […] My advice to you: keep the moon at a good distance, don't let Stones finish what it's up to, and keep the Cedar watered."
