For alchemists, medical professionals, fauns, and the botanically inclined:
Nearly half a year ago, the expedition northward to establish the Wilder outpost brought back plant specimens that produce an unusual sap, which can draw out and contain slight Cwyld infections if applied immediately. It also proved effective on the invasive algae underground.
I've been experimenting with these plants for some time now. The sap creates a... sort of false magical signature that the Cwyld is drawn to—bait, essentially—but the sap is quickly overwhelmed by stronger traces of Cwyld.
With experimentation, I've found a potential way to refine this sap that should fortify the substance's ability to draw in and entrap infection; from there, it could be processed into a medicine. Unfortunately, supply is an issue. One of the ingredients is rather rare and I'm still researching the best way to source it. The other is the plants themselves.
With aid, we've cultivated more of them, but it is a limited operation; this process requires a far greater quantity of sap to work with. I'd like to request help from experienced botanists, gardeners, fauns, or any other interested party in cultivating far more of these plants, and if possible, selecting for the pitcher plants with sap that displays the strongest resilience to Cwyld. From what I've gathered, it should be possible to breed this trait to greater potency.
I can share my formulas with interested alchemists, and keep you informed when production becomes available. If this project comes to fruition, I'll certainly require the hands.
