A couple additional ones:

Theology: Quote lacks enclosing quotation mark

Granite Excavation: "quarrys" should be spelled "quarries"

Monster Hunting: The word "habbit" should be "habit"

Viscera & Bits: In the sentence "Learning from the Natives Viscera, & Bits allows […]" the comma is probably misplaced.

The large bucket in the "Packs, Sacks & Pail" pack is in the game called a Pale, rather than a Pail.

RE: Viscera & Bits

The comma is misplaced, but the problem is that the introductory element "Learning from the Natives" is, in fact, a dangling modifier. The person doing the learning is your character, but your character is mentioned nowhere in the sentence. The sentence would work better as follows: "Ancient learning received from the Natives, Viscera & Bits allows . . ." Alternately, "A skill learned from the Natives, Viscera . . ." or "Tribal knowledge rarely bestowed, Viscera & Bits" All options eliminate the modifier issue.

The team is trying to emulate 17th century writing styles here when possible. This sort of thing wasn't uncommon then.

Yeah, it should probably be something more like, "Learning from the Natives Viscera & Bits, allows for more efficient and more reliable harvesting of animal products.", which means the same as "Learning Viscera & Bits from the Natives,...". It's a misplaced comma but otherwise grammatically correct.

grammatically correct but illegible to your average modern-day joe
