I really like the unique flavor coming from the Knight. I am curious how the table will work during play. Overall, good work!

Well-presented, good use of public domain art. Strong, evocative writing too. Everything is on theme around writing and memory. I would have liked to see some more roughage to give room for players to interpret their own connections.

Promising, but it's hard to judge this without rules on Scrolls and what they do.

Excellent poem and Knight! My favorite part is the Forgetful Seer and how they ask for proof that they knighted you! I’m not sure what the potency of a Scroll means, but the concept sounds cool. Discovery for a passion is awesome for a Scholar Knight; and it’s interesting to see a different interpretation of the characters in the Order myth than how I imagined them.

hi, thank you for your feedback, I am happy that you could find something that you liked :)

- re: I’m not sure what the potency of a Scroll means

I liked the idea of some mean to measure the effectiveness/strength of the knowledge contained into a Scroll without tying it only to a specific aspect. 

In my games, I have used the potency, for example, to measure how many people i could declare were banished from the land before someone would raise suspicion about the legitimateness of my scroll.

In other instances, I used it as a way to understand how much of a blunt hit i could absorb (weapon dmg - scroll potency).

I did not have one specific use case in mind for potency, but the table is there to give me a mean of measure impact against whatever situation i am trying to use the scroll in!
