Song of making paper? ROW

[Jasqueen she/her]

Anybody else notice in chapter 45 that Eshonai says she knows the song of making paper? Did we know this was a thing? She can’t possibly be soulcasting in a singer kind of way....can she? At the same time I can’t believe she’s just “whistling while she works.” Opinions?

Songs in singer culture are a part of how they pass down information. They don't seem to have a substantial written language, so their songs are a sort of oral tradition, like how Venli was learning the song that had all the information about the various singer forms. In this case, I think she means she knows the song that contains the instructions to create paper.

I’m not 100% convinced. There’s no other mention of something like the song of the loom....unless I’m missing something?
