Scroll, artifact (requires attunement)
For generations the keepers of this scroll (nicknamed "Runekeepers")have passed knowledge down from one to the next, sealing their own knowledge within the scroll. Keepers of this scroll will keep this scroll with them their entire lives until they find a worthy pupil. This pupil will then be sent into the world to add their own knowledge to the scroll. Keepers are known to found monasteries of their chosen Deity(ies) later in life where they begin training prospective keepers.

Destroying the Runekeeper's Scroll. The scroll is sealed in a waterproof capsule. Since it is made out of animal skin, if it is taken out of the capsule it can be destroyed the same way as animal skin. The text must be readable to confer knowledge. Fire, acids, and ripping are suggested methods for destroying the scroll.
