A small, strange book

Old Mother's Wine

Tags: fragile

A small manual written on what appears to be sheets of supple leaves. It is written in the common script but in a strangely poetic sequence of nonsense syllables.

To unlock it, you either:

• need help from a Fae poet, or perhaps one of the Forest Folk;

  or…

• risk getting the recipe wrong, poisoning or cursing whoever drinks the wine you brew.

Old Mother's Wine

Lost memories: ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐

When you sacrifice a memory to a berry-laden elder tree, tell us what you gave up. Mark 1 lost memory and roll 1d6; if you roll less than your lost memories, change your instinct and clear your marks.

When you harvest the berries and spend a season making wine from them, gain a skin of Old Mother's Wine (5 uses, magical).

When you get tipsy on Old Mother's Wine, expend a use. For a night and a day, your eyes are open to Fae magic, meaning:

• You see the truth behind Fae illusions and glamours.
• You are immune to Fae enchantments.
• You can freely enter Fae domains and walk the Fae paths.
• Time passes normally for you while in Fae domains.
