Well-Educated Settlement

Settlements, Well Educated

At a Glance

A Well-Educated Settlement has an unusually literate and knowledgeable population. Tutors, scribes, scholars, record-keepers and skilled craftspeople are common, while books, copied texts and formal instruction circulate more widely than they do in most communities.

Using It in Play

Adventurers are more likely to find people who can read unfamiliar records, identify historical references or point them toward a specialist. Knowledge is still uneven: a well-educated harbour town and a well-educated court city may know very different things.

Adventure Use

Universities are not required. A settlement might earn this quality through temple schools, guild instruction, a bureaucratic tradition, wealthy patrons or generations of specialist craft knowledge.
