Runmeark

A is a tool capable of reproducing any of the alphabet with ink. The tool requires the user to press the desired into a bed of ink, and afterwards pressing the into the paper, or medium in order to leave a perfect, readable print of a . Most es have two es on it, one on each end of the tool. But some only bare a on one end, allowing the user to use the other end with a hammer to a into tougher materials like metals.

The Invention of the

The first was created by a blacksmith who decided that he would prayers and poetry into the tools or weapons of his clients. The first of which where farmers, of whom he made a of a common harvest prayer. His invention quickly spread through word of mouth, and although at first the blacksmith would create es for new clients, eventually he was overwhelmed. This led to the opening of a new job on the market, a smith.

Role of the smith

A smith became a surprisingly valuable job over the years, with more and more demand for new writing tools by scholars and poets the industry took off. The tool initially had value among other metalsmiths who saw the value of being able to a piece with their name. The tool quickly rose in popularity with others though, because of the expensive nature of ink creating a mistake in lettering was entirely costly, as there was no ablility to erase once written. A allowed a writer to create perfect es, eliminating the risk of traditional quill methods such as drops of ink, bleeding ink and a simple twitch of the hand. A scholar or poet cares only about how easy their texts are to read, and not how quickly they can be produced.

Less popular versions

With the popularity of the traditional some varients of them have been produced, though used only by niche groups. These es take on various forms, but one of the more interesting one is a Wordmeark. The function is the same, the only difference is instead of only having a single , this tool has an entire word. Most Wordmearkes are desgined for common words, such as names of people, places, titles or gods.
