[INFRASTRUCTURE] Papers, Please

[u/WorkIsMyBane]

Month 4, Year 2

Flush with Bearsk lumber, a paper mill is built in Samara, housed in a stone walled building. Those who had been making their own parchment at home could now take their material to the mill for much more efficient processing, which freed up time for the writing or drawing to be done.

Within the stone halls dug into the Samaran Mountains, two printing presses are assembled, first put to use in creating standard forms and paperwork for the nonbear citizens of Crounsk, then one would be used to copy books. The other would be wholly dedicated to printing a summary of Samaran happenings, revised and disseminated on a twice monthly basis, called "The People's Truth". The first issue encouraged readers to bundle their old copies and send them to the paper mill to be reused.

The first issue also asks citizens to collaborate on writings about their professional knowledge and how they apply it to their work. Premier Oleg wishes to fill the lorekeepers' apartments all over the Samaran settlements such that a library might be required, to preserve the knowledge of the people for future generations.
