Dragon Eggs and Essences
Day 276 of the 3rd Age
Today in the workshop, the labours of our alchemist yielded six new wearable fragrance oils, each emerging from the depths of his crucible more intoxicating than the last.
He is calling them Essences.
They are a treasure for keepers of domesticated beasts, and for those who occasionally wish to journey beyond the veil of the everyday.
My Dragon Eggs are here.
My newest creation brings me the greatest joy as an Artificer - fragranced wax truffles that shimmer with the iridescent scales of ancient beasts. These are no ordinary truffles; each is shaped like a dragon egg, and when melted over flame they release dramatic scents into the air.
I am tempted to document my method here, but spies from the Black Vial Tavern threaten my best-kept secrets. My application for a mountain lion to guard the Artificiary was declined… again.
Vaelan has instead recommended alchemical locks.
As I conclude this entry, exhausted, twelve beautiful new clutches of Dragon Eggs are curing on the workshop tables and will soon be ready to unleash their magic into the world.
