{{RoomDescription|
|roomname=Cacographic Critters - 26889
|desc=Rough-hewn planks form the walls of this cramped shed, and chilled drafts attest to the lack of skill in their assemblage into their current configuration. In sharp contrast to the shack and the questionable nature of its continued existence, a polished brass lantern rests atop a glass-fronted case that stands in the middle of the floor. Its glow illuminates the case, a small velvet-topped table to one side, and some free-standing shelves holding stacks of writing materials, each stack topped by a rock to keep the sheets off the floor.

- The rachis is the center tube-part of a feather or quill.
- The vane is the feathery part to either side of the rachis.

Bleached to a uniform ivory hue, the delicate bones that make up this quill are completely devoid of flesh and appear to have been assembled by a true artisan. Even the eyesockets on their gossamer stalks and the pair of skeletal arms exhibit a pristinely precise construction which is rarely encountered in reanimated remains.

The surface of the quill is covered in a fine grey fur reminiscent of moleskin, beginning just behind the eyes and covering the rest of the creature, both rachis and vane alike. And while the vane resembles nothing so much as a single layer of that velvety suede, the barrel of the rachis displays a series of subtle bumps consistent with a spine.

Other than the gnarled bark surrounding the two eyes, and the mithril nib that protrudes beneath them, this quill appears to have grown from a seed into its current scrivenery form. Several diminutive stalks and budding leaflets have sprouted along its barrel, but none would obstruct a calligrapher's natural grip.
