He is responsible for overseeing the work of the scribes and illuminators, as well as ensuring that they are well-supplied with parchment and writing materials. | ||
Of wisened countenance, Ahmose is accentuated by an aura of acute perception and alertness. His frame is encased in a red ochre carapace, and slate grey hair hangs down from the bald crown of his head. Twitching, paired antennae protrude from his receding hairline, and his eyes are bright, shining pools of purest black. His attensive visage is magnified by the monocle that rests in the deep creases of his face. He wears a cowled cloak of cerulean blue and a pouch brimming with innumerable quills of various sizes and colours. | Of wisened countenance, Ahmose is accentuated by an aura of acute perception and alertness.

;Clock tower journal - 6000gp : The lambent light of a clock shimmers softly on the cover of this heavy journal, ticking audibly. Achaean numerals shift and change periodically with the passing of days along with the [[moon phases|phases of the moon]], the beautiful designs emitting a strange, cerulean glow. Dyed leather is rendered to replicate smooth polished stone and mortar on the front and back, providing a realistic backdrop to the luminous clock. The spine is skillfully bound and painted to resemble worn [[Vashnars|Vashnarian]] lumber with a slightly faded, intricate image of [[Blu]], the [[:Category:City Guardians|Guardian]] [[:Category:Lesser Dragons|Dragon]] of Cyrene. A blackened steel lock with small bells carved onto it is fastened tightly to the journal, keeping it closed when its not being used. When opened it gives a slight, cheerful chime, revealing many pieces of fine Cyrenian parchment within. | ;Clock tower journal - 6000gp : The lambent light of a clock shimmers softly on the cover of this heavy journal, ticking audibly.

;Luminous journal of the night sky - 6000gp : Fashioned from deep, velvety suede, the covers of this journal are dyed as black as a moonless, shadowed night. Scattered across the covers, swirls of sparkling diamond dust glitter like stars against the darkness. On closer inspection, the mesmerising patterns traced by the diamond dust beautifully and faithfully duplicate the shapes of the constellations in the night sky as seen from southern Sapience. Beneath the coruscating trails of diamond dust, a small silver plate allows the title and author of the journal to be engraved. Within the journal, the end leaves have been inlaid with a myriad of tiny stars and silver foil edges the pure white parchment pages. | ;Luminous journal of the night sky - 6000gp : Fashioned from deep, velvety suede, the covers of this journal are dyed as black as a moonless, shadowed night.

;Vellum journal with [[kawhe]]-stained pages - 6000gp : Slightly smaller than a personal journal, this book is of expensive vellum construction with a fine, suede binding. The sheath of parchment bound within the vellum has been stained varying shades of kawhe ranging from creamy mocha to a rich cinnamon. Attached to the spine is a long strip of velvet ribbon which serves as a bookmark, embossed with the image of a kawhe mug. | ;Vellum journal with [[kawhe]]-stained pages - 6000gp : Slightly smaller than a personal journal, this book is of expensive vellum construction with a fine, suede binding.
