Tree Keeper

Tree Keepers are a hybred Librarian, "paper maker" and forester in Oriso culture. The Oriso writing system developed to be carved into trees with soft bark with their claws. As a consequence many old texts are written on trees, and have been lost due to poor care, or fire. Modern parks in cities often house many important texts from the city, and must be maintained to stop the tree from regrowing the bark over it. As bark started to be stripped for writing on instead of directly on trees, Tree Keepers changed to maintain older texts, and start working on properly stripping bark. With the Invention of computers, Tree Keepers once again adapted to be librarians in addition to their older jobs. As a consequence, when someone says they are a Tree Keeper, they could actually be focused on one of those traditional tasks, although most tree keepers a trained at least a little in all three.

Purpose

Tree Keepers are tasked with maintaining old writing, and stopping it from being overgrown, as well as protecting the original trees that older texts were written on. Additionally, they are trained to strip bark for modern writing like on paper.
