The Power of Print
Muteferrika has for many years served us loyally as a diplomat, but his true passion has always been learning, and he has long studied the history of Europe. Now he wants to set up a printing press in Capital Location, utilizing a new invention that has only recently begun to spread in the Flavor Rank: movable types in Arabic. But some of the Clergy are vehemently opposed to this, saying that it would ruin the art of calligraphy that has long been treasured among the pious.

İbrahim Müteferrika was a Hungarian diplomat and scholar, who in 1726 petitioned the court to be allowed to print non-religious books in Constantinople. He subsequently published 23 volumes over two decades, among them a dictionary, an atlas, and various scientific and historical works.
