Perhaps someone discovered this old recipe and put it into mass production during the time when Blackmoor was at its peak? Would be something that could be inserted into RobJN's campaign for sure. Heck with the longevity of elves, perhaps Sirinda's daughter or son would even have lived to see the Great Rain of Fire, if Sirinda was a contemporary of Uther...More than likely this was something Leansethar picked up in her travels. The mistaken belief that it stopped the user from aging was taken out of context when a drunken lord asked Leah her age one Kissing Day, and she (truthfully) told him (42), and then attributed her not looking a day over ten-and-six to regular use of the balm nightly before bed. The nobleman's wife promptly ordered several cases of the stuff, and... well, you know how fads go among the nobility :roll:
