Maybe the folding is referring to breeches!?
The language book doesn't have something that would fit?

You pull the cork out of the Message in a Bottle and gently fish the paper out of it. Unrolling it, you see that it reads:

Puzzle14: This year's trivia guardians can help you.

Now you have an empty bottle, too!
My brain hatched a possible answer: ..., or dot dot dot.

Fold on the dotted line. The trivia guardians have that in their sentences from time to time. It can come first... ...or last a sentence. There's no response before, and none after. And it represents a pause! The riddle may also want the technical term ellipsis for it.

It makes sense, because we use "..." a lot on RPR. Of course, I could be dead wrong, but it was more of an "Aha! My brain just woke up!" moment.

No, that's a good point! There doesn't look to be any ellipses in the any of the Guardians' text -- but the Guardian of Puzzle12 does use an emdash, which is both a pause and, in fact, a line.
Then maybe it's an emdash. I think it definitely has something to do with sentence structure or a sentence mentioned in Epic Week.

I'm not sure how the the third clue fits, though... If I try and 'fold' the guardian's clue in half, I don't get anything readable.

Likewise, folding the image of the dice that were important for that symbol's answer along a convenient nearby crease doesn't put the 19 in back. Hrrrm.

Attempted "Red, Blue, Black" and "12 17 19", nothing doing.

"Puzzle14: The Apple Dragon can help you." From a bottle!

Now, then, what secrets can our kinfolk share?

The answer over there was magnesium, hum hum.

Preliminary results show that you can use magnesium in RNA folding.

But, no, this is a puzzle, not trivia.

All clues so far:

A pause where there was none before, and none after.
Use this crease, fold on the line.
What came first now comes last.
This year's trivia guardians can help you.
The Apple Dragon can help you.
Do we possibly need that third clue we never unlocked?

Nope.

Also, "The pause you are looking for is not in a comic or video, but it's still contained within Epic Week"
