Journey the First

[allaganeyes]

[There's ornate handwriting in the libers today, completely new.]

Good morning! I am G'raha Tia, a fellow Starfallen.

I've begun experiments involving magic in this 'Expanse' alongside Velo and have come across a number of interesting observations that I would dearly like to expand upon. I've only just started my studies in the Mage's Tower as a new Scholar, you see, which limits me to a degree until I make further breakthroughs under the Guild's tutelage.

Nevertheless, I wish to test the effects of as many types of magic as possible within the realm as well as these odd structures that lay scattered within the Expanse. My Vis has given a number of results, but what of holy magic? Potions consumed that bear a magical nature?

I'd also heard that some of you have received access to abilities you had back in your home worlds. If it's no trouble, I'd like to see how that factors into my studies as well, so I know the effects of "foreign magic" as well as local.

Rest assured you will be compensated. I am also something of a Culinarian, so you needn't worry about food or drink during the excursion as well.

If you're interested, please write back in these fascinating magical journals. I'd love to see how they work in real time, and I'm happy to answer any questions.

Thank you for your time.

I can brew a good tea, I believe. I've had no complaints, at any rate. As for creating my own tea blends, I can't say I've given it any thought. I just take the leaves and drink the water.

Have you any tips?

[Caduceus claps his hands together. Someone has asked him his tips and thoughts on one of his favorite subjects. Give him just a moment.]

Oh, there's a whole world of teas out there, depending on if you're going for taste or a specific effect, like relaxation. I've been told I have a bit of a knack for it.

[allaganeyes]

Wonderful! I'm fond of any tea, but wonder if I should enjoy particular types at particular times, for instance. I'd also like to learn how to brew better cups overall.

Future guest visits rest solely on your knack!

[dead_people_tea]

I have absolutely no problem in giving tips. There isn't any particular rule about what you should enjoy at what times.

However, it's usually not a good idea to drink something that will give you energy when you're attempting to sleep in an hour. Some teas are better when you're unwell.

Brewing better cups does take time and I'm more than happy to teach you. My name's Caduceus Clay.

A pleasure, Ser Caduceus.

Ah, naturally. I stick with herbal teas in the evening to mellow a troubled mind, but I admit I miss the taste of a smooth black tea to cure the midday ails.

[dead_people_tea]

A black tea? I think they might have that here. One thing I've been trying to do is test all the teas here. I think some of them are the same as where I'm from, they just call it something different.

Some of it is completely different. But I think testing around enough will find something that will work best with you.
