Sun Lotion

Don't forget to add Sun Lotion into your bath, you don't want to be Sun Sick when entering Duun'Kalruuth

— An Elfkind elder

For what could only be described as centuries, Atharians have been battling with Sun Sickness when they stay inside Mountainhomes for too long. However, recently Alchemists are able to mix a body lotion to help leviate many of the symptoms of Sun Sickness.

Production

Known Ingredients

• Sunflower Oil
• Fresh Water
• Bloombell Extracts
• Dirt from a mountainhome

Almost all alchemists prefer to keep their recipes a secret, especially the ones which prove to be profitable and/or dangerous in the hands of not very nice people. However, there are thieves in this world and those who have stolen an Alchemist's recipe books has shared many of its contents. However all of the recipes which have been leeked have not worked, the at least the ingredients are known. Though there is a true knack to Alchemy, which only Alchemists seem to know. This could also just be that Alchemists write down the wrong recipe, to trick those who steal their art.

Invention

Who initially invented this lotion is unknown. However, Falduhns claim it was one their finest alchemists, Rostek Kroll who neither denies or confirms these claims. Kalruuthians definitely deny it was them, with common answers such as; "Kalruuthians are too strong to worry about being Sun Sick."

Whether or not it was me who was the first to create this lotion does not matter to me. Perhaps I did, or perhaps I didn't? What difference does it make?

So while they are washing their hands, or even themselves entirely, they rub the lotion upon themselves as well. Adding much of this lotion into a bath is also strongly recommended by many.

Access

The typical price of a vial of Sun Lotion can cost around 1GC, which can be more than what most can afford. The price also depends on the Alchemist's offer. However, the wealthy would prefer to purchase bottles of lotion. This is either for resale, or because they use this lotion a lot.
Many chapels and temples across Atharia purchase bottles of this Lotion to offer this to those in need. Taria's Order is renowned for its charity work for the least fortunate of the world, so sharing Sun Lotion to those most prone to Sun Sickness is part of the day-to-day life of many preists, prestesses and even volunteers.
