The Raven's Rose

The Raven's Rose specializes in making and selling a wide range of Tinctures, Tonic and Cures, tailor made for the convenience of the Kenash elite.

It is a small, sombre shop, a large front window giving a glimpse of polished wood floors, finely crafted shelves and glass cases. A dainty counter stands at the back of the store, with doors to both the left and right. The door to the right leads to the simple Philtering Lab, which contains a basic set of vials, flasks, beakers, barrels, crates, a number of different types of storage devices, and a fireplace. The door to the left leads to a small store room, an archway exiting out into a small courtyard where Tanith grows all her own plant's for use in the shop.

Aims

Seasonal Aims
~31 – It is officially the Slave Exchange Day. Slaves change masters and Dynasties for an entire day, in hopes of being taught different skills and different trades to increase their utility. Abuses are foreseen for most of them. Recollection of information about their temporary masters is encouraged.
~[D] 33 – An apparent madman takes a hold of a Dynasty member and stabs him 43 times. He cries out ‘For freedom!” in the entire process before he is reduced. Similar cases spread throughout the city, yet the majority are unsuccessful.
~[D] 39 – The captured madmen are displayed for public torture to their death in the West Bank. Their hands and feet have been removed, and their tongues were cut to prevent any kind of undesired propaganda. Unfortunately, the slow execution is interrupted.
~59 – Like a miracle, the rains came in the night and suffocated all fire and draught. The chaos is smothered and everything starts returning to their place. Many head out to celebrate.
~62 – Most members of the Dynasties gather in the Pavilléon, in a mandatory gathering to strengthen bonds between the twelve Dynasties. Once the night falls in, an orgy takes place within – exclusively for Dynasty members.

A hot poultice may also be made from Belltor to prevent scarring and to aid in wound closure. Belltor should be harvested as a whole plant and dried hanging upside down in loose bunches.

Flametoe is kept dried in long pieces and used to help revive those who have fainted though the root has no effect on conscious individuals save for it really stinks.
