The depth-wreck guards consider anything swallowed by the waves to be dragged down into the cold abyss as their rightful property. Together with tamed beasts of the currents they ferociously defend the claimed bounties – although they won‘t do much with the torn vessels themselves or necessarily use any resources on board. The reason behind their unbending determination is shrouded in mystery no one dares to find answers to. Maybe they endure their endless duty in anticipation of a hi...

Dear Patrons,
I hope you had a wonderful beginning of the colder seasons! Over here, it was quite summery until yesterday with a quite hard cut to autumn, rain and wind today. I enjoy it though – nothing better than being wrapped up in blankets with raindrops tapping on the windows. Besides, spooky season is around the corner, giving great opportunities for creepy critters, sinister potions and vicious items!
Beginning with this month, I’d like to wrap up the respectively last...

This potion is based on the Gummy Wurm.
“You love the delicious taste of gummy wurms so much that you crave constant supply? The Yummy Tummy got you covered!” – strange pamphlets were generously distributed on the most bustling streets and alleys. Oddly enough, the advertised potion was never available in the manifold shops of Falbheim and some even began to doubt its very existence...

For a long time the book wurm was thought to be the smallest of its genus. This belief, however, was violently shattered when the renowned Candle-Care stumbled upon the even tinier gummy worm…and accidentally – so he claimed – swallowed it. One more of the many near-death experiences he had suffered or – again, as he claimed – had the pleasure to enjoy didn’t stop the professor from further examining the colorful critter. Quickly he came to the conclusion that the gummy wurm &...

This potion is based on the Leek Lich.
As much as the pumpkin hags fear the uncontrollable nature of the leek lich, they are moreover enchanted by its magical capabilities. From its tainted stem they brew vile potions – in no way to enhance their own powers but rather for the very sole purpose of further tormenting the unsuspecting town folk.

Even the pumpkin hags are afraid of creating the crude abomination that calls itself the leek lich – a grotesque blend of rot and growth held together by vile magic beyond understanding. This bizarre undead bends to no one, much less to the evil caster that accidentally pushed it into its cursed unlife. As soon as the leek lich’s pale eyes see the light of day, they try to hide away from it. In silent darkness it ponders to forge its own plans of decay and its sinister schemes to corr...

In dimness it hides,
from corners it guides.
It shares what it knows,
it reveals and it shows.
Together they scheme then strike out and sneak,
covered in gloom to regain what they seek.

This potion is based on, you guessed it: the Baby Yagas
Never ever drink from a potion found in a hag’s hut – not even the tiniest sip! This is especially true for liquids that are safely stored out of reach of children, feel comfortably warm to the touch and have a milk-like consistency…

Traversing the old-growth forests has always been a deadly challenge and adventurers are well-advised to move quickly or avoid the hungry underbrush at all. To some, the sky above seems to offer a much safer route – if not for the spiking spear sparrow. Air-farers stutteringly whisper its name and wailingly fear the gruesome beak. Not only does this primal bird attack any living creature it considers as prey but anything daring or foolish enough to come close. With unbending ferocity it...

This potion is based on the Deep-Sea Faerie.
The alchemists of Falbheim were highly resourceful and gathered their ingredients in the most whimsical corners of the bustling metropolis. One of THE hot spots were the city’s outer walls: ever-changing cliffs shaped by the relentless tides and crushing waves. The deep-sea sherry was just one the many sinister potions brewed from the strange ...

Whether the baby yagas are brought forth by a wicked curse, bewitched propagation or simply come to be is unknown. One thing, however, is for certain: their enchanted presence is just as mysterious as their puzzling appearance. The feisty baby yagas are commonly underestimated and might even be considered cuddly or cute by some. Yet, they are still hags – young but already bursting with magical potential and blessed with unbridled curiosity.

It is said that the deep-sea faeries were molded from the drifting wastes of the Shelligans’ sinister rituals. Sunken to the deepest chasms of the oceanic worlds, they merged with lingering eldritch spirits. After hibernating for centuries, they fuel an awakening and rise once more from the depths. The faeries are their heralds, their eyes and their voice breaking an endless silence. Although they prefer to stay within the cold embrace of the sea, they sometimes emerge to gaze upon the ...

This potion is based on the Crabler.
“No need for a coin to shine – simply Crab.“
Soon after the invention of Crab Cola, countless knock-offs hit the alchemistic markets of Falbheim. While its name was arguably hinting something else, only one managed to capture the delicious taste of the original – however, with a quite different magical effect.

The, relatively speaking, sizable crabler is a most peculiar beach-dweller. In an odd fashion, it shares a quite prominent feature with the likewise eccentric fiddler crab – but instead of possessing an excessively larger pincer it eagerly waves around a sticky hand-like grappler. This ″waving hand″ is often misinterpreted as a friendly way to greet approaching wanderers while it is actually a vehement threatening gesture. In this regard, well-intentioned high-fives often end in fie...

This potion is based on the Red-Cheeked Puzzle Mussel.
One puzzle Habuini the Hiccuping solved quite quickly was recreating the contagious joy of the red-cheeked puzzle mussel in form of a handy potion. Getting rid of the quite prominent side effect, however, is a puzzle the feisty alchemist was never able to unravel.

The red-cheeked puzzle mussel adores enigmatic riddles and mind-blowing mysteries above anything else. Ironically, the peculiar mollusk isn’t quite the best at unraveling let alone proposing them. Still, the unbridled joy this quirky being feels upon solving a puzzle is described to be more than contagious and allegedly has inspired many adventures to heroic deeds. If it fails, however, the red-cheeked puzzle mussel quickly demonstrates why it lives up to the first part of its whimsical...

Of all the stranger creatures crawling over the muddy grounds of unspoiled beaches and dwelling in bustling tidepools, the sham shell seems to enjoy the shell shepherd’s affection the most. Whether this is because of their vivid display of colors or the creepy-cute sounds it occasionally emits remains unknown. Despite all their quirkiness, the sham shell has to be handled with absolute care and caution. It is easily mistaken for an actual seashell and its venomous bite inflicts a quite ...

This potion is based on the Shell Shepherd.
In an attempt to spread their goodwill, the shell shepherds began to capture their emphatic nature within a mysterious potion. However, they quickly abandoned their optimistic approach as most utilised their newly gained powers for mischief and manipulation. Since then, the receipt has been lost and only a few bottles of the eldritch brew are still floating around.
