Scribe
“If you can’t read it, I can make it say anything you pay meto have it say.”
– Hans Nörgeler, Scribe
Scribes make their living through reading, writing, andcopying documents, from legal contracts to holy texts. In alargely illiterate world, their skills are rare and valuable,and those who possess them often work closely with localclergy, nobles, and guilds.
The work may seem quiet, but a scribe can holddangerous secrets. A misplaced word or a “lost” record canchange fortunes or doom reputations, and the shrewdestscribes know exactly how much that knowledge is worth.
In a rural village, a scribe may be the only person whocan read or write, and their duties often go far beyond neatlettering. They record births, marriages, and debts for thelocal bailiff; copy letters for farmers with kin in distanttowns - or read the replies; and draw up contracts for thesale of land or livestock. When disputes arise, the scribe’sword can carry surprising weight, for in a world wheremost folk cannot read the law, the one who holds the inkpotoften shapes it.
