What was in the Safe

The following is a list of what was found in the safe and released to Darien Fenner at the RhyDin Post.  To be totally clear, Dewey and Cheatham have nothing to do with any of the information found in the safe.  They did not earn any money or profit in any way.  All the documents are Howe’s personally there is nothing to even remotely infer that either of the other two are involved.  For more information please check out the WaOF.  If your character is seeking this information, and you haven't already worked out a way to get their hands on it, let us know so we can help!

What was in the safe:

1. One large, black leather-bound ledger: Within is a list of names, ages, and occasional checks under the category listed only as “V”. In the final column are what looks like prices. They range from 5,000, (ones that do not have a check mark in the "V" column) up to 100,000.  It is unclear what monetary system is being used, if any at all.  (More info available upon request... for the right questions...)
2. A large folding file w/tie: It is full of contracts, (295 to be exact) for Indentured Servitude, each nearly a mimic of the other except for the signatures’ at the bottom. It is a standard five year contract at the end of which they are promised to be amply rewarded with 24,000 in Rhy’Din coin. The contracts look legitimate. All the way at the very end, not quite buried, but oh-so-easy-to-overlook is a one page standard contract for souls. The contract implies a “purity level” of souls with a rating of 1-3. Unfortunately there is no explanation of the ratings. This appears to be a copy that hasn’t been filled out yet.
3. An Accounting Book: At first glance it appears to be a listing of numbers. Numbers where the names should be and numbers that may represent accounts. Numbers that might represent quantity with the steady stream of numbers ranging from 1-30 among the shared listings (familiar to the numbers of women and children listed in the WaOF books should the WaOF be investigated). At the end of each line are more numbers they appear to be a balance. The thing that would be most striking is one small word over the column that may be quantity on the first page only: Souls.  There are five distinct, reoccurring numbers, but no clue as to who or what is behind them.  One number stands out. It seems they had received the highest amount of souls and they were paying a much inflated price if those final columns were indeed balances.
