The Lore of Charmer Sonja of the Moors
The Potion Mistress Entry 1:
Sonja rolled out of her loft and climbed down into her workspace. She made a beeline to her workspace to check on several experiments she was running. Sonja had just been offered to conduct her research at facility twice the size of her house, but it was one wizard hour of travel time roundtrip! She liked her place being near the heart of The Fey. Being close to the City Tree meant that she could easily get food and supplies. She loved to be able to wander the markets around the City Tree. Although the hustle and bustle of the markets were loud, she could easily block out the noise and found it strangely effective in helping to think through problems. She had also come across rare specimens from travelers and traders passing through on more than one occasion. “Travel time is such a waste! The space will have been nice. The promised of new tech…. I can probably do better!” Sonja thought to herself.
Sonja checked on her first experiment setup. Witch Rita aka Greenhands (FRWC #8543) brought a newly discovered plant she found from the Hedge Wizard Woods. It seemed to have healing medicinal properties and Rita asked Sonja to identify which part of the plant held its medicinal property, extract and distill it to determine how effective it could be. Sonja started with ten different samples from the plant and employed a range of techniques to isolate its healing properties. The most common parts of a plant that yield healing properties are its leaves or sap normally. Interestingly, the root sample of this plant has been showing the highest healing value thus far. She noted her observations this morning her Experimental Notebook under the title “Still Unnamed Plant”. Lots more to come from this plant.
Sonja moved to the next setup where she had been exploring different combinations of herb and plant extracts to develop ‘plant vitamin’ potions. This was one of her passion projects. If people had “Vitamin Potions”, she was sure something similar to boost the health of the forests could be created. This was still in very early development and Sonja was just mixing known ingredients to observe their chemical reactions, texture, smell and taste. The more interesting combinations of less well-known ingredients will come later. She noted her observations of the various test tube potions into her Experimental Notebook.
This vitamin potion journey for Sonja had started when she first developed a potion tailored for her own consumption to improve her overall health. It worked so well that people around noticed that she seemed to be aging slower and had a youthful glow to her skin. That started a snowball effect that resulted in her developing a range of “Runiverse Vitamin Potions”. The “Runiverse Vitamin Potions” quickly became a top selling health product in the Runiverse, especially amongst the ladies. Sonja had no interest in running a business and sold the production rights to the Alchemist Guild. The rights fee payments were more than enough for her for her to fund her own research thus giving her full independence to do whether research with little oversight.
