I know a way around this problem a way to produce hundreds of forms in less time and with fewer errors. And not just forms but also books and any other kind of written material needed in bulk. A machine that can make writing cheap enough to be available to all. I intend to produce these machines and sell them."

    "And you will be selling that capacity I take it?" He asks after a moment to process your claim.

    You nod, "Yes. For a reasonable fee I shall print as many copies of a work as someone is willing to pay for."

    The fingers drum the table again. The question and answer session that follows takes three hours and covers nearly every contingency and pitfall.

    Finally, the man leans back in his chair.

    "I must admit, I am impressed. Are you a commerce god?"

    "Of a sort."

    "Well, I did not expect to meet a god today, and I did not expect to approve a loan to someone with no collateral." He writes a note and proffers it to you, "And yet both have happened this day. This has the details of the loan. Take it to the Teller and you will receive your money."

    –

    "You will work for me for five years, learning the operations of the Gutenberg Press. At the end of that time, you may take a book with instructions on how to make a press, and open your own printing business in another city. You will be paid for those five years. Any questions?"

    "We're getting paid during our apprenticeship master?"

    "Yes."

    There is a round of blinks. "Why?"

    "I feel that productive effort should be compensated."

    "A liberal master indeed." Another one comments.

    You can't help but laugh.

    Press

    The Immaculate Monk watches the process as you make copies of one of the immaculate texts. This one is a simple sheet with the Five Noble Insights and Five Diligent Practices.

    Press

    Her gaze is unwavering and intense.

    Press

    She is considering something deeply.

    Press

    Finally she speaks, "This will change the world."

    Press

    "Yes it will." You reply.

    Press
    -

    "Back again Master Commerce God?"

    "Here to repay my loan."

    The man blinks.

    "It's barely been a month."

    If you had a mouth you'd grin, "Business has been good."

    @Aranfan can we buy high realm language merit?

    Also we may want to consider raising our linguistics and related abilities if we want to create a properly convincing and informative newspaper.

    When we make the newspaper we might want to have a column in Old Realm. The simple fact of the matter is that Old Realm is the most common language and it isn't going anywhere. In general people are better off learning it then any other language.

    @Aranfan : How well versed is Liberty in the social sciences? Does he know how to conduct a proper survey? Very useful for a newspaper.
     
    If we make a column in the Newsletter of God Gossip it is less likely to offend any local Gods if it is in Old Realm. They will be inclined to think that it is just for them.

    Also it will quickly increase the amount of people that understand Old Realm. Old Realm is the dominant language in creation and the language of the elite.

    1. As a trade language, Riverspeak is "probably the most widely understood language in Creation" and is the local language of the scavenger lands (where I believe we are). People who would buy our newspaper and people who read riverspeak line up better then they would with people who read old realm.

    2. Old realm is the only language that requires a ability score to learn.

    3.Old realm is complicated to write as opposed to the much simpler Riverspeak. This is valuable for a printer.
