The Vellum Bench
Lay your manuscript on the bench and see what it becomes. Runtime to the second, the shape of its chapters, how many scenes it wants, what the master weighs, and how long the house will stand at the anvil. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, nothing is asked of you.

The pacing map
How your book breathes across its chapters — where it opens wide, where it tightens, where the final movement rises. Tall bars are long chapters; the house cuts breath and sigil into every seam.
Carry the specification
The full production sheet — runtime, cast requirements, delivery format, loudness spec and the pacing map — written plainly enough to hand to any studio on earth. It is yours whether you commission us or not.
These are production figures, not a price. The Forge prices the build.
Free, always, with or without a key. Hold one and every bench you walk counts toward the Instrument Seal — the Drakenscroll Prize.
