Knowledge
Some complex buildings and resource production requires at least one of the lords to have the prerequisite knowledge. Lords gain knowledge by reading books, which are housed in the Library. In the Knowledge menu lords can be assigned to study and write books. After studying a book, the lord will be able to create a copy of it using 3 
Paper. The knowledge menu will display which lords know which knowledge.
Books are mainly bought from the Holy Caravan. If a lord knows a book they can also write it.
If assigned to read, the lord will do that all day unless they are satisfying a need. If assigned to write, the lord will do it between 9 AM and 6 PM. Other assignments and actions will be completed first before resuming either of these.
The speed at which books are read or written depends on the assigned lord's 
Intellect skill. Both decrease Rest.
Every city will start with the following three books: Mine, Hop Field and Beer, and Rye Field and Mill.
Books come in three levels of rarity, which determines their price and the required Intellect skill to read them.
- Gray books need at least 3 skill to read
- Green books need at least 9 skill to read
- Purple books need at least 13 skill to read
