Time frame: present, Thidal Kingdom
In a small, dimly lit room adorned with shelves of dried herbs and glass bottles, Adeline began her sacred ritual.
With a mortar and pestle in hand, she crushed the dried herbs, releasing their fragrant essence. The room filled with the earthy aroma of comfrey, the delicate scent of calendula, and the soothing whispers of lavender.
As the herbs turned into a fine powder, Adeline combined them in a weathered ceramic bowl. She measured each ingredient with precision, carefully calculating the delicate balance of nature's healing forces. With the essence of each herb captured within the blend, the ointment began to take shape.
Adeline's hands moved swiftly, adding a base to the herbal mixture. Beeswax, warmed by the gentle heat of a flickering candle, melted into a golden liquid.
The base would carry the potent properties of the herbs, allowing them to penetrate deep into the skin and ignite the healing process.
