Ink Well Reeds

The reeds of The Ink Well grow straight and hollow as quills. They gave the ReedKin their roofs, their boats, their first pens and, some say, their first pipes, and every word ever written in Threadbare can trace its way back to them.

The First Pens

Cut at an angle and dipped in the Well, a hollow reed will carry ink. It was with one of these reeds that the Elder Rune wrote the first story on a pressed leaf, so that writing could at last leave the swamp.

The First Reed

Every InkKeepers apprentice still begins their training at the Well, in silence, cutting their first reed from the same beds the ReedKin once cut. The small reed boats that carry InkKeepers to and from the Well are the descendants of the ReedKin's canal boats.
