[i]Alitriv[/i], The Life Giver

Alitriv, an herb found solely within the grasslands, known for its restorative qualities. This herb, which takes a full year to grow, and wilts within a week away from it's natural home, is the key ingredient in the potions of healing, and droughts of restoration. Beyond this, it is the key ingredient in crafting a potion meant to bring a person back from the world of the dead. Somehow, the magic of the land that has infused this strange herb allows the one who imbibes it to escape from any plane of existence, even that of the world of the dead.
As far as it's origin goes, long ago when Interitus was still but a dream for the darkest of powers, one of the few gods remaining, Angoth, the lord of nature, proclaimed that as long as the grass would still grow, life would flourish upon Interitus, even in it's darkest hour. It wasn't until an apothecary by the name of Villis accidentally crafted a potion using this strange herb. The potion gave off a stench unlike anything he had ever smelt, and with a shrug, he poured it out the window of his small one room cabin. Yet, as the liquid hit the dirt, the flowers that he had planted oh so long ago, a memorial to his dead wife, began to bloom anew. And then, the sound of the door opening, a female voice calling out. "You did it Villis, you finally brought me back."
This story, sadly, has no happy ending. Villis's wife, a woman of no major merit, beyond being the love of his life, was too far gone, too long dead. As the story goes, Villis waited till she was asleep in their bed one fateful night, the stench of rot and decay so overpowering, that as he gazed down at the once beautiful woman, now nothing more than a rotting corpse that never ages, never hungers, and never shows emotion, that his heart finally broke in two. He raised his head high, walked towards the fireplace, and leapt within, the flames eating away at him. And as he burned within the fire, the woman who had once been his wife, who had once shared everything from fears to desires and everything in between, watched with a smile, and a laugh.
