Parchment

Parchment Paper starts with a scraped hide. Review the leather making chapter to learn how to make it. Parchment requires treatment with a few different items. First, Pumice is needed. Pumice is found on the ground near Volcanoes, or from Sluicing or Panning ore deposits with Andesite, Rhyolite, or Dacite in them.
