[ a hum of consideration—gela raises good points—and then an ah! of epiphany. ]
It mightn't be as difficult to convince anyone as you're imagining—I wasn't here at the time, but when Tantervale fell to the Venatori, didn't a number of refugees make it here? There is the Planasene nearby, we may be able to induce them to restart their business, I imagine that would be preferable to whatever they're doing now. I wonder what they would need...
As for what goes into it, I don't know how it works as a business, but I know the basic process! Wood pulp is suspended in water, then pulled up through a screen. Once that screen dries, you have a sheet of paper! That's what I meant by using our own scrap to make new paper, we can turn anything we have that we're not using back into pulp and then screen and dry it for new paper. It's not difficult, just time-consuming.
There is also parchment as a possibility, we could talk to butchers and see about contracting for cow and pig skins!
