Rabbit's Hide

Rabbit's Hide is the main type of writing material used by all the wolves, and the most traditional. Rabbit's Hide is made from the skin of domesticated Volkian hares (rabbits, bunnies, or palama). Hide made from wild hares are more exotic and considered high class, however, one must be careful as many sellers often fake their source.

The pen used to write on rabbit's hide depends on preference and wealth, ranging from sharpened stones, to pieces cut from the shed antlers of deer (nacera), to polished metal.

Hide is only tanned into longer-lasting leather (Rabbit Vellum) for wolves rich enough for hide yet not paper, as tanning is a tedious process without advanced technology. Poorer wolves must use untanned leather (Rabbit Parchment) which does not last as long. Many entries and pages are lost to time.

The aristocracy use a paper (bimenei) similar to papyrus in crafting, using pens dipped in root-ink. It is often incredibly expensive, about 700-1000 vots.
