Unused research from my abandoned fanfic: using byssus, aka "sea silk" for the Goldcloak's cloaks. It was supposed to be a Velaryon trade good made from silk harvested from molluscs that "when treated with lemon juice, turn a golden colour, which never fades."

If anyone wants to use it, feel free to do so.

It's an actual thing that existed, made, highly prized, and sought after by the ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. Its desirability wasn't limited to the ancients:

>According to the sixth-century historian Procopius, the Byzantine emperor Justinian I gave a gift of a sea silk cloak to five Armenian satraps. Since then, the fascination with this marine fiber has not abated, reaching its peak in modern times. The British admiral Horatio Nelson wrote of his intention to send his lover, Emma Hamilton, a pair of gloves made from byssus. Jules Verne chose to dress his narrator in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Dr Pierre Aronnax, in β€œsea-boots, an otterskin cap, a greatcoat of byssus lined with sealskin”.

Not sure but it seems that mollusc gene gives vigor for EACH hit taken meaning you get pretty good bonus when a bunch of enemies push you around. Does anyone have the actual numbers and general advice if mollusc worth taking? And is vigor itself actually good outside of hyperzine?
