Descrição
When a fire broke out in Toshi Ranbo’s archive, scholars feared that centuries of knowledge would be lost, but were surprised to discover that many of the earliest tomes, scrolls, or other literary artifacts were undamaged while later volumes had burned or been irreparably damaged by smoke. That the volumes remained intact was due in part to the scientific advancements of the ancient wartime scholar Toriyama. When Toriyama was assigned to Toshi Ranbo’s library in the city’s early days, he feared that the city might be sacked and the library put to the flame, for wars already raged around that region. As such, he developed new, more enduring inks and painstakingly researched chemicals that could slow the burning of a scroll (without ruining the contents). After the fire in the library centuries later, Toriyama’s methods were rediscovered and propagated, and are still taught to scribes and archivists today.
Parchment and scrolls that are made with Toriyama’s endurance pattern gain the Durable item quality, but only against the effects of fire and water.
