Eight pages of the Mandate's paperwork: a victory report, a starving inventory, a garrison log that records Transcension, a plea for aid, a refusal, a decree, an oath, and a list of the fallen.

An edict from the volume 「Huangxing's Betrayal」: Yuyin dead, Moji fled, and Huangxing claiming the art of Perfect Transcension.

Five papers left in Creek Valley households: a blood letter, a loan taken out for weapons, a deed for ancestral land, a plea for shelter, and orders to guard a bridal procession.
