Though the Inkbound Order holds many duties to be attended - guarding, patrol, and the keeping of provisions among them - no servants are hired; all such tasks fall to the students themselves. Save for the Printing Workshop, the Paper Mill, and the kitchens of the Dining Hall, which demand specialized skill and cannot be entrusted to the untrained, all other duties - sweeping the Dining Hall, airing books in the courtyard, distributing sundry goods, and tending to the Study Hall - are shared among the students by rotation, with each month's assignments decided by draws. Beyond this, the Order treats all students alike without distinction; regardless of birth or station, rich or poor, each must see to their own daily needs - their rising and resting, their washing and laundering. Thus the students of the Inkbound Order are not merely learned in letters and principle - they know also the weight of toil, and the bonds between fellow scholars are, through shared labor, all the deeper for it.
