Honorary Titles

In Myne's new world Gutenburg is a title given to people who performed notable contributions to bringing the printing industry into being and expanding it. The first person to receive it was Johann after finishing the first set of letter types that could later be used in the first prototype printing machine.

The name comes from a famous, historical figure from Earth.
