Scríbhneoir (SHKREEV-nor)
Scribe
A Scríbhneoir’s desk is a haven of quiet contemplation, where ink-stained hands move with deliberate care over parchment, the rhythmic scratch of the quill a sacred melody of creation. Here, words become vessels—of memory, of inspiration, of truth. They capture the fleeting beauty of an unspoken thought, crystallizing it in ink so that it may be read, understood, and carried forward. Some Scríbhneoirí compose epic sagas that span generations, while others focus on the precision of legal documents, the elegance of calligraphy, or the poetry of everyday life. Regardless of form, their work is always an act of preservation and revelation.
Writing is more than a means of communication; it is a way of shaping reality. A Scríbhneoir understands the power of language to evoke, persuade, and transform, and so they choose their words with care, each one infused with meaning and purpose. They may chronicle the great deeds of heroes, record the wisdom of scholars, craft poetry that stirs the soul, or inscribe messages of love and longing. Others specialize in the art of lettering itself, transforming simple script into intricate calligraphy, where the elegance of the stroke is as meaningful as the words it forms. Some carve their words into stone, ensuring that even the passage of time cannot erase their message.
Beyond their own writing, Scríbhneoirí serve as keepers of knowledge, tasked with preserving the works of those who came before. Whether copying ancient manuscripts, engraving sacred texts, or transcribing the spoken word into a form that endures, they ensure that nothing worthy of remembrance is ever truly lost. In *Tír na nÓg*, where thought can shape reality, the written word is more than ink on paper—it is the voice of eternity, captured and preserved for those yet to read it.
