What are yall's thoughts on this new "papyrus"?

Today when I was visiting the marketplace for some new pots, I came across a merchant selling these odd, a bit fabric-like white sheets. He told me that the Egyptians make these from reeds to write on them. Personally, I don't see a need for such a material. Just use a clay tablet like a normal person!

Has anyone seen Ötzi?

He said he was going up to the mountains and would be right back down, but that was at least one phase of the moon ago.

My seer just told me of this omen he saw in the moon. Should I be worried or should I get rid of the seer? "When the Moon fully slips into Earth's shadow, a king shall die."
