Religious leaders record their patron deity’s deeds, dogmas and traditions, proselytizing converts through the recitation of their god’s words and actions. Civil authorities draft codes of law, establishing organized rules governing itself and its citizens. Wizards channel arcane energy onto the page, converting its mystical power into words.
