Parchment was a high-quality writing surface made from animal hide, capable of holding ink, paint, and other pigments.[4][5][1]
Description[]
Cheap parchment.
Parchment was similar to other writing materials like vellum, paper, and papyrus, and was relatively commonplace. It was made of animal hide, often goat or sheepskin.[4][5][1]
Availability[]
Fine parchment.
Aurora's Whole Realms Catalogue offered high-quality parchment sheets for 1 gp each, alongside various other writing surfaces and tools.[3] It also sold packs of 50 sheets of gridded parchment for 45 gp, for use in mapmaking.[6]
In Waterdeep, the League of Skinners and Tanners handled all aspects of tanning and leatherworking, including the production of parchment.[7][8]
Calaunt was a great producer and exporter of leatherwork including parchment.[9]
Usage[]
Projects such as building plans, maps, academic treatises, and wizard's tomes used parchment scrolls and books.[5][10]
Parchment was a fine material for creating spell scrolls, producing more reliable results than papyrus, though not as well as vellum.[11]
