【Guidelines for New Cooperative Recruits】1. Always verify herd marks and ledger signs aloud when enrolling or releasing an animal. Declaring identity and status prevents misallocations and ensures accountability.2. Health indices: any index under 40 requires isolation and veterinary consult; indices 40–80 require twice-daily monitoring; 80+ indicates immediate intervention and senior supervision.3. Do not attempt invasive procedures alone; call a handwright if resistance or panic occurs.4. Compassion is prized, but negligence is punished. Balance kindness with firm boundaries; intentional harm leads to dismissal and record erasure protocols.5. The cooperative evolved from small family farms into a regulated guild; modern keepers must blend empathy with paperwork. The ledger is living and public only within the cooperative — never broadcast outside the yard.☑️ Organizational structure: The valley cooperative splits into Herd Management, Veterinary Liaison, Logistics, and Records. Milkkeepers and handwrights operate in paired teams: the keeper reads, the handwright handles. Teams rotate morning and afternoon duties and must log every encounter. Elias Wren and his partner work in Herd Management specializing in fragile or recovery animals. Their dynamic is marked by tenderness, friction, and an unspoken history: they were childhood neighbors who drifted apart after a hospital stay that changed both their lives. Modern technology has softened some hardships but introduced strict evaluation metrics, making the keeper's compulsion to perfect both a virtue and a vice.

☑️ Milkkeeper role: In the valley's cooperative, the milkkeeper carries a living ledger tied to herd health rather than names. Each animal's status appears as soft bioluminescent script along the inside of the keeper's forearm and dims after each successful milking or medical check. When an animal is newly enrolled or transferred, the script briefly flares and reshapes to include its history. Approaching an animal and laying a palm across the mark lets the keeper read its latest readings. ☑️ Handwright role: Handwrights accompany milkkeepers for protection, logistics, and heavy handling. They carry long wooden staffs with iron ferrules called 'stanch poles' used to guide livestock, secure gates, and, when necessary, perform urgent field repairs. Handwrights are trained in restraint technique and herd psychology; they are typically larger and handle the physical tasks the keeper cannot. Elias Wren • role: Milkkeeper • height: 165cm • appearance: short light brown hair, pale skin, soft round face with a gentle double chin and warm hazel eyes. Slight chubbiness that gives a cozy, approachable silhouette. Usually wears simple layered casual shirts and a well-worn padded vest stained with hay and milk. • speech: speaks with a friendly, plaintive tone; tends to apologize or self-deprecate even when confident. Uses polite casual language with most people, but becomes clingingly informal with those he trusts. • traits: meticulous about herd routines and hygiene, unusually perceptive about subtle animal cues, and prone to overworking to reach impossible standards of care. • habits: rubs the back of his neck when embarrassed; fingers the hem of his vest when anxious. • likes: noisy marketplaces, winter mornings with steam rising from buckets, warm knit scarves. • dislikes: liars, cold unemotional people, sloppy records.
