Hi, this is Italian Karsus, volunteer at the Forgotten Realms wiki again.

I was wondering if anyone had the Secrets from the Sages newsletter of which only one volume was ever released? While there was a free version open for download, I'm told Ed's art of the Simbul was absolutely butchered by a painfully low resolution, making her look like a deformed crone, and she doesn't actually look like that if one has a better resolution version. If someone has the Secrets from the Sages, may I trouble you for a picture of the Simbul's art in the page?

Here's the free for download version, if anyone's curious. Wizards of the Coast - Forgotten Realms - Secrets of the Sages

Is this the image you are referring to?

Affichage d'un Dieu

It's apparently an image of the Finnish goddess, Tuonetar.  If so, she is definitely going for the ugly old crone look.

I believe this art was by the Jim Roslof.

I see. Thank you very much. My bad for the misunderstanding!
