Lore
The Page of Pentacles stands in the field holding one coin up to the morning, reading its marks like a map to the craft that will one day feed a village.
In play, this can bring a trainee, recipe, new job, study route, seed packet, tool tutorial, or the first practical lesson that lets the player use a resource well.
