Crafting
In use
The mother skill — the whole stone age lives in here.
What it governs
- Cord, knapped flint, bone needles, baskets: most other skills' first tools.Charter, Part IV — Production group
- Containers: bags and baskets carry more, a sealed pot slows spoilage, a jar keeps wealth.
- Gem cutting can fail on the cheap stones, which is how anyone learns.
What it branches into
The branches. Not a ladder of tiers — five separate crafts, each with its own road.
- Leather, with tanning left for citizens to work out.Charter, Part IV — Production group
- Spinning and weaving on wheel and loom: bowstring, cloth and sailcloth.
- Pottery: wheel and kiln, and vessels to put things in.
- Glass from sand and seaweed ash: coastal, late, and the lantern's light.
- Jewellery: gold and cut gems, where money began, though never ruled to be money.
Not yet
No needle. Made: edge, cord, lashed stone, basket with room in it, and a clay pot baked in a fire.
