rise and decline of the Scrivener Culture

Discovery, Exploration

Highly literate culture in Dow that controlled a large territory at its greatest extent.

The Scrivener culture (1130-775LF) arose in western Dow and spread to control the a vast swathe of the forest. Their culture was highly organised and regimented, but also associated with a great deal of art and learning that it captured on the vast quantities of paper scrolls it produced. In doing so, it caused a huge expansion to the The Learned Canyons on the far side of the world, helping kick off the use of Paired Pages as well as a degree of cross-continental dialogue that sadly diminished after the Scriveners mysteriously collapsed.
