Scribe Artisan

The Scribe Fingers stained black with ink, the scribe is not an author but a craftsman.   Part tanner, part alchemist, the scribe spends their time curing hide for vellum and mixing rare chemicals for inks. In a pretechnological world, the ability to read and write is neither common nor particularly valued. Heralds post and read proclamations, a constable or reeve might be able to read enough words in the typical legal document to make it out, but otherwise the act of letter-writing is reserved for priests and wizards and educated city-folk. Scribes therefore also act as aides for diplomatic communications.
When the lord wants to send a message to their allies, the scribe is summoned. Scribes are expected to be conversant in many written languages and capable of translating at least between Common, Elvish, and Dwarvish, sometimes Draconic, and sometimes rare and obscure or dead languages found in the kinds of tomes recovered from ruins and dungeons. But of course the most valued use of a scribe for the adventuring lord is the crafting of scrolls!
THE TANNERY: Magical scrolls require rare and unique chemicals to make inks as well as special tanning techniques to cure the vellum in a tannery. All parchment is made from cured animal hide, but vellum is especially durable, resistant to both flame and water, and well suited to holding the unique inks used in a magical scroll without running or fading over time. A scribe would never consider inking onto paper. A paper scroll wouldn’t survive long in the conditions the typical adventuring lord is used to. If a spellcaster of appropriate level is present for at least an hour, a scribe can craft a magic scroll in a fraction of the time it would take a wizard or sorcerer to do it alone. The time and cost are both reduced by 10% per level of the tannery.
THE HEART OF THE BEAST: SCROLLS OF PROTECTION AGAINST MONSTERS (UNCOMMON) If you present your scribe with the heart of a monster, they will be delighted. The opportunity to craft a scroll of protection against monsters is a rare privilege—it’s a chance to pay you back with something that might save your life. Similar in all other ways to the rare scroll of protection, the scroll of monster protection only works against the exact species of monster the heart was harvested from. The heart of a black dragon (the recovery of which takes hours) allows for the crafting of a scroll of protection from black dragons. Not all dragons or even all evil dragons!
Because the scroll is uncommon, it can be crafted faster and cheaper than its more useful and rarer sibling. Scribing the scroll requires the services of a 1st-level spellcaster.
