artifact

RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENT This agreement is entered into this day, the 12th of October, 1348, between the Guild of Spires (Lessor) and the signatory party (Lessee). I. PREMISES The Lessor hereby leases to the Lessee a single room located in the Fourth-Tier Garret, District of the Low-Air, Paris. The premises consist of one sleeping alcove and a shared ventilation grate. II. COMPENSATION AND TITHES 1. Monthly Rent: The sum of four silver deniers shall be paid on the first of each month. 2. Gravity-Tithes: In accordance with the Edicts of the High Architects, the Lessee shall pay a monthly Gravity-Tithe of two copper liards. This fee covers the maintenance of the stabilization anchors and the prevention of vertical collapse. Failure to remit this tithe will result in the immediate cessation of structural support for the specific unit. III. ATMOSPHERIC ALLOTMENT 1. Oxygen Quota: The Lessee is granted a daily allowance of 14,000 cubic centimeters of filtered air. This air is delivered via the primary spire-vent. 2. Overages: Any consumption exceeding the daily quota will be billed at a rate of one copper liard per 100 cubic centimeters. To conserve air, the Lessee is encouraged to maintain a sedentary posture and limit vocalization. 3. Quality: The Guild does not guarantee the absence of soot, sulfur, or industrial runoff from the Third-Tier foundries. IV. PROHIBITIONS 1. Avian and Winged Fauna: The keeping of any pet capable of autonomous flight is strictly prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to, pigeons, hawks, and modified bats. This measure is necessary to prevent the unauthorized migration of pests into the Higher Tiers. Any winged creature discovered on the premises will be confiscated and incinerated without notice. 2. Structural Alterations: The Lessee shall not drill into the spire walls. The integrity of the vertical seal is paramount. V. EVICTION AND TERMINATION 1. Default: Failure to meet rent or tithe obligations for two consecutive cycles will result in immediate eviction. 2. Procedure: Eviction shall be carried out by the removal of the unit's floor-plate. The Lessee and all belongings will be transitioned to the Third-Tier slums or the street level, depending on the current wind velocity. VI. LIABILITY The Guild of Spires is not responsible for loss of limb, consciousness, or life resulting from sudden pressure drops, oxygen failure, or structural shearing.
