Potions

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Potions are found all over Lythia, in markets and fairs, on the shelves of apothecaries and physicians, in castles and in hovels. Some potions are well-known, but perhaps only in one region. Others are rare because they are difficult to prepare, have a short shelf life, or include rare or illegal ingredients. Magical effects are claimed for some potions, but most are intended as common remedies. Where guilds thrive, potions are a monopoly of Apothecaries, but there has always been a broad overlap between home remedies, herbal teas, and legitimate potions. Despite serious legal sanctions, unguilded sellers of potions are common, especially at fairs.

Most potions are created according to guild-approved formulas, and packaged and sold in accordance with strict rules regarding composition, quality, claims of efficacy, and packaging. Breaking these laws can bring severe penalties, including public humiliation, heavy fines, and loss of guild franchise. Forging the guild seal is a serious breach of guild privilege.

Most potions require herbs as ingregients.

Hârn is full of peculiar small things for a newcomer such as me. Here, an article on potions. Bought this on a moments decision since I got a discount code. The article is certainly interesting in a pseudo-academic way (as seems to be the way of Hârn [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
