Melthrutsi

Commonly used among poeple of Kochazatsi kingdom, this writing tool was originaly created by the Dragon riders as means of replacing traditional methods, which mainly used fingers.

ORIGINS

The idea firstly came to a lively mind of a retired rider working as a Dragon caretaker. According to him, on one warm day when the dargons were shedding and he was getting ready to write an announcment, one of the scales fell into his ink. Thinking that it'll be a shame to leave it soak there, he picked it up intending to clean it. But brushing it against a cloth rested on his thigh, he noticed how clear the lines were and without hesitation tried to write with it. He was amazed by the outcome and decided to use it regularly.

Shortly after, he began to sell them to the riders coming by, who spread the word about it across the whole Kochazatsi and the Melthrutsi became a common writing tool.
