Marker dye

For those wishing to make their mark on the world, marker dye stains whatever it touches an obvious color. The easiest way to get the stain out is to wait seventy-two hours for it to fade, or two weeks for it to completely disappear. This dye is used by jailers to mark certain prisoners, and by Molthuni explorers and trailblazers to mark the trails that they are using.
