Ledger-Mind
Ledger-Mind. Ledger-Mind is the sovereign's first and most quiet gift, and the reason the realm did not default the winter they took the throne. Every debt, every treaty, every tax roll in the realm is preserved in the sovereign's memory with the precision of a freshly inked page. They can quote the figures without checking. They know, to the last coin, what the eastern provinces owe in arrears, what the western guilds are skimming, what the northern lords are quietly withholding against a future leverage. Councilors have learned not to bring fabricated numbers to the sovereign's table. The sovereign does not need to catch the lie — they simply state the correct figure, and the room goes quiet. The gift is not glamorous. It is the reason the realm is solvent, and the sovereign would trade it for none of the others.
