Quills were specialty priests of the Church of Oghma who collected and recorded knowledge.[1]

Activities[]

Given the amount of time spent recording various forms of knowledge, quills were usually well-versed with the history of their region.[1]

Culture[]

Quills prided themselves on their diligence to their duties. They usually possessed an impressive memory and had a pleasing speaking voice.[1]

Abilities[]

Quills usually had all of the items required to write magical clerical scrolls.[1]

Spells from both the combat and necromantic spheres were denied to a quill, nor could they turn undead.[1]

Possessions[]

Quills dressed similar to holy singers with a white tunic and pants and a black gold-trimmed vest. Their hat was small and box-like. Many quills also wore a sleeve protector on the forearm of their writing arm to protect their clothes from ink stains. These were sometimes decorated and served as a badge of office.[1]

They spent very little time with martial training, thus they usually only carried smaller weapons, such as daggers. Lighter armor such as leather armor could also be worn.[1]
