Fairy's Blood Recipes

Rahar, Elder Sage ; Transcribed by Alder, Training Sage
The Fey do not write their recipes and live long enough to share them with family. Some fairies claim they refuse to write any recipe to prevent Pixies perversion of their traditions. The Fey believe it to be frivolous to use paper as it will degrade long before it's finished use.  
Ignore the scribblings of Alder, these are not official notes and text placed in boxes are author asides, also these should not be included in final text.
 

Purpose

Prime-dweller Sages traveled to the Feywild to document it's inhabitants, flora, fauna and general information about the plane itself. This collection of common recipes were recorded by these sages to document the uses of the Fairy's Blood & Pixie Dust tree. Who names these things? "Lets meet by the big Fairy's Blood!" whyyyy The collection can be used as a study example of Fey language and their hubris. Charlotte's Cream Cups is a recipe adapted by a Prime-dweller to use Fairy's Blood tree components. The creator allowed the sharing of her adaption, but refused to give the original recipe.
Farther study of Prime-dweller interaction and adaption to the Feywild is required. Request formal funding from Keepers of Knowledge
 

Fey & Limited Resource Use

One would assume the Fey population relying on this tree would destroy the tree's population and growth. The Feywild plane has imbue magic into every living being, causing drastic and subtle changes to their nature. Rapid growth of these trees with the assistance of nymphs and their harvesting methods are the limiting factors to the Fey's consumption.The Fey appear to focus entirely to one plant at a time, till they have exhausted all studies and uses of the plant. Newest plant study was 20 years old called, Ninny Vine. "Only fools use Ninny Vines to swing across rivers"
Joint, independent study of the flora & fauna is advice to prevent loss of knowledge and environmental information, while the Fey focus on a singular plant for decades.
 

Nymph & Harvesting

We were given limited information about how the nymphs harvested and the exact details of their agreement to harvest these trees. A possible conclusion that could be drawn from the information given is the Fey committed some act against these trees and this offended the nymphs. This act pitted the two species against each other and would cause disaster to many regions of the Feywild. However, an agreement was struck between the two species. The Fey must leave the harvesting of all Fairy's Blood trees to the nymphs, and never approach the trees. A Prime-dweller can approach these trees if they can live and the nymphs grant permission, such a case is rare. I was not allowed to study the tree, or their methods. Alder was given permission, but he returned in a stupor state and could not remember any specifics. it was a nice time...their hair were leaves sooo colorful
Through some clever spellwork, Alder may be able to return with information whether he is in capable mental state, or not. Caution in using these methods could put our relationship with the Fey and Alder's life in danger.
