...Paper wasn't invented during this time period?

I suppose that's true. Paper was invented before this time period. Hundreds, or perhaps thousands, of years before. It's old news.

The MGE is set in a largely medeival world. Largely, mind, not entirely. It is not Earth, and does not share Earth's time periods. As such, there are places with technology at a medeival level, places where it is behind, and places where it is ahead. There are technologies in the MGE world that do not even exist in our own world.

So yeah. Paper. They got it.
