Thankfully, Lady Phage has provided a secondary bursary for my research into the perfect cobalt - a colour which she believes so suits her complexion, she will pay any amount to see it recreated in dress, scard, and veil.

My research has led me to Calimshan, where reside the realms' finest purveyors and innovators of pigment. While I cannot make the journey myself, I've written to one Habir Ashmad, I believed to be the finest coloursmith on Toril entire. He responded hopefully, saying the discovery of a certain type of sea mollusk has yielded promising results. The creature produces a dark ink that, when combined with acid, produces a rich cobalt blue so beautiful it may even please the discerning eye of Lady Phage.
