What Skaafin is and your first steps.

What store staff can do, and where to find it.

Set up your store: items, prices, staff and ranks.

Run a Hold: its item list, export prices and stores.

The server tier: the base item list, Holds and the server's settings.

The Site tier: create, rename and archive servers, and keep an eye on the security log.

Pick items from your Hold's list, or add your own.

Raise or lower many prices at once, with a preview and a one-tap undo.

Add or remove stock by hand with a reason, or move it between containers.

Post what happens in your organisation to a Discord channel.

Name a rank, choose which rank it goes below and pick its permissions.

Paste the sheet's link. It must be shared as "Anyone with the link can view".

Bring in the items and prices you keep in Excel, a CSV file or Google Sheets. You check every row first.

Send an invite link to add someone to your organisation.

How your organisation shows itself: sigil, banner, motto, description, hours and where to find you. Any character can see it if it's on.

Put an item a store keeps for itself on your list, and link the store's entry to it.

Reach everyone in your organisation, and everything below it.

Set what you sell at and buy at for one item.

Count what is really in a container, then let the app correct the books.

Import what you have, start fresh with a few guided steps, or skip it and come back later.

Play as another of your characters.

Type "6pm EST" or "18:30 CET" and see it in your own time zone and as a lore date.

Letters go between characters and organisations.

You only see what your character and rank allow.

Both are on your profile, under "Your data".

Only server staff, and only to run the server.

No. Skaafin asks before you leave a form with unsaved changes.

Every browser signed in to your account, with a way to sign each one out.

A guard's bell: ring it and everyone in the guard is told at once, where and what. It stops after an hour, or when stood down.

A faction's stock: the items it keeps, where they are, and how many. No prices or counter.

A record of every change that isn't a trade: prices, ranks, members, settings.

Your staff won't trade with this person. Only someone who can ban may serve them anyway, with a reason.

A place in the world where papers are pinned. Public boards can be read by anyone (and guards can take notices down); private ones only by members.

An organisation's handbooks, guides and knowledge, in pages and sub-pages. Members read them; public books show on its page.

A reward a Hold or a ruler posts for bringing someone in. Guards whose watch reaches see it; wanted posters make it public.

Where a business trades: a store has a building, a stall trades from a market stall in town, a trader has neither.

What a character hands over in character, like giving a name. Clerks take it with the code on the card.

What an organisation may do at all, set by server staff. Ranks can only pass on what it holds.

The record of a charge and its judgement: decided on the spot by a guard, or tried before a court. Private to them.

Who you play. Everything you do is done as one of your characters.

The Hold a character chose to belong to. It shows on their page and their calling cards.

A row whose name is nearly, but not exactly, an item's name. You confirm it or pick something else.

Your organisation's gold ledger. Every entry is written by hand; the balance is the sum.

Tick it once coin has changed hands, with the amount. It is the only way a trade reaches the coffer.

One of eight colours for an organisation's identity: the ring round its sigil, the rule under its name, its banner band and its seal's wax.

How worn a weapon, armour or piece of clothing is, from Pristine to Broken. Stock and trades record it; prices follow it.

A place where you keep stock, like a shelf, chest or cellar. Paperwork only.

A copy is a new paper. Copied signatures and seals show under a "Copy" stamp. Letters can carry copies or the original.

What someone owes you, or what you owe them, written down by hand. Nothing goes on credit by itself.

An item only your store uses. It isn't on any list, so the Hold won't buy it.

A daily or weekly summary from the Skaafin bot, in a channel or a DM.

Channels in your Discord where Skaafin posts what happens here.

A piece of paper held by a character or an organisation. It can be copied, sent by letter and filed.

How the paper looks: a plain note, parchment, official paper with the letterhead, or a ledger for tables.

A guard clocks on at a post and off again. Duty ends by itself after the guard's set hours.

Nobility: someone a guard doesn't judge on the spot, but sends for trial before the court.

A Hold casting out a citizen, or barring a trader, for a reason and maybe until a date.

A group that isn't a place or a shop: the Guard, a guild, the Legion, even the Empire. Factions can have chapters.

Tick it once the items have changed hands in game. It is the only thing that moves stock for a trade.

Creating organisations, appointing their heads and full control, over the organisations it reaches.

A faction with the Watch capability. Its ranks can act on public things in their Hold, like taking notices off public boards.

Changing a price at the counter, within a limit your store sets. A reason is always asked for.

Give the original to someone standing with you, by their calling card code or a one-time code they type in. The printed number on a paper never claims it.

The top rank. It always holds every permission and can only be renamed.

A region with a court, its own item list and the stores within it.

What your Hold pays you for each of this item, and the smallest amount it takes.

A guard may hold someone in the cells for as long as the server allows before charging them. The app warns near the limit and at it.

A guard's written record of what happened: what kind of incident, when, where, who was involved and in what part, what was found, and which laws were broken.

Your own words on items (steel, one-handed, food), to filter and find them in the catalogue, stock and at the counter.

Someone your organisation knows of, by the name they gave you. Never linked to a real character.

The law book of a Hold or a ruler (or a guild's rules): enacted, amended and repealed, never erased.

Retire a character, or record that they died. You choose who gets their papers and who takes over their ranks.

Today's date in the Tamrielic calendar, set up by server staff.

An item is low when your total across all containers is at or below the level you set.

A list of goods a business offers to sell to its Hold in bulk, at the prices the Hold buys at. The Hold approves, lowers or rejects it.

What one batch of an item takes to make, and how many it makes. Shows what the item costs you to make.

One line in the stock record, adding or removing some of an item in one container.

A paper pinned to a board. It's the same paper as in your files: pinning the original moves it, a copy leaves the original where it was.

A Hold's page: notices, news, events, laws and a directory of the places in the Hold.

Choose what reaches you in the app, as a push on each device, and on Discord.

Out of character: about you and the app, not your character.

Tell everyone the business is open now. It shows "Open now" on its page and posts to Discord, and closes by itself after a few hours.

The server, a Hold, a store or a faction: one place in the tree, with its own members and ranks.

Permissions that reach into every organisation below this one.

One business or faction owning another, like a merchant house owning shops. The owner sees into what it owns; it doesn't run it.

A number of the same item sold together, such as a Bundle of 24 arrows. Stock is still counted in single items.

Your character's own book of people they know, with notes and tags. Only you see it.

What a rank lets its holders do, such as changing prices or inviting people.

The items you mark public, with what you sell and buy them at, on the open web. Stock only if you choose.

A rank is a name, a place in the order and a set of permissions. Titles add more on top.

The ranks a new Hold or store starts with when it is created below this organisation.

Your own code for someone in your register, like a tab number. Search finds it, and no two people share one.

Tell server staff privately about abuse, harassment, metagaming or cheating.

The faction a Hold answers to, such as the Empire or a High King's court. One per Hold, set by server staff.

How far a reaching capability goes: everything below, chosen organisations too, or the whole server.

An organisation's seal pressed on a paper, or any other seal. The organisation's seal register lists what was sealed by those who keep it.

Failed sign-ins, rate limits and bursts of denied pages across the site, for site staff.

“You sell at” is what customers pay you. “You buy at” is what you pay them.

What a judgement orders: a fine, restitution, jail, forced labour, exile, or other words. Paid and served in game; recorded here.

Separate worlds on one site. Each has its own organisations, item lists, calendar and characters; nothing crosses between them.

Work you sell rather than goods, such as repairs, sharpening or enchanting. A service has no stock and no condition.

Stock on a manifest you sent to your Hold. It is still yours and still counted, but it is spoken for until the goods are handed over.

A city, town, village or barony within a Hold, with its own noticeboard and, if it likes, its own court.

Low, Medium or High: a law may give a different punishment for each, and a charge picks one.

An organisation's emblem. It heads its page and its letterheads, and shows in its seal's wax.

A name written at the foot of a paper. Signing fixes the text. You can sign with any name, as in game.

The whole Skaafin install, holding several separate servers. Site staff create, rename and archive them.

A shop that is a world of its own, apart from any server. It keeps its books, stock and customers, and nothing that needs other organisations.

A trading business: its catalogue, prices, staff and records.

An out-of-character file of a store's catalogue, containers, stock, customers, ranks and money figures, for moving it to another world.

A flat weekly tax a Hold (or a ruler) sets on the businesses under it, paid in person and recorded by hand.

A Discord bot that answers price and stock questions, posts to your channels and sends you DMs.

The server's base list, a Hold's list and a store's catalogue.

Guards. An organisation with the watch acts on public things within its reach, never on anything private.

An office held on top of a rank, such as Quartermaster or Treasurer. It adds its own permissions.

A sale or purchase at the counter, with a receipt number. Goods and coin are confirmed separately.

A business with no stall or building. Anyone may open one, and it may join a Hold or leave it.

Why the Hold won't buy an item in your catalogue.

A business its Hold has recognised. Verified businesses are in the town directories, and can publish prices, send manifests and press their seal.

A note about someone in your register that shows at the counter. It never stops a trade.

A court's paper that lets the guards it names search a business or a person, arrest someone, or seize goods. It opens nothing until a guard serves it in person.

What an organisation calls things: its Treasury, its stores, its members. Inherited by everything below.

A paper that lets the people it names read some of one org's books for a few days. The org sees it and each time they did.
