The new trade skill of bookbinding involves (as the name suggests)
binding books. Every city and commune will form a bookbinding cartel.
City and commune leaders, please message me the name of your cartel and
the first trademaster (if any).

However, bookbinders have a range of other abilities, making them quite
unique for a trade skill, notably the learning of languages and
scripting of magical scrolls. These scrolls include some useful spells,
one of which will be a weighty change to demesnes. Enchanters,
alchemists, mages and druids will note new spells.

Finally, as the scribes who built the press rooms have indicated, this
is start of another large institution: Libraries! Because of the
complexity of the library system, we will gradually be introducing it
throughout the next week or two. One of the largest changes (so prepare
yourselves) will be the introduction of a city and commune culture score
which impacts politics, and will allow players to introduce histories
and writings through contests that will also generate power for their
respective cities and communes. More will be revealed as systems are
implemented.
