Known Region
Pygmy Faerie Fauns are normally found in the Mistpetal Glades, a forest that exists between the shimmering roots of the Everglimmer Mountains. That is where the Pygmy Faerie Fauns reside. You are unable to enter the Glade unless you have permission. If you do not obtain permission from the Fae, time will behave weirdly within the Glade and you will soon come out to find 15 years has passed.
Not from personal experience, mind you.
Properties
Faun Tears manifest as small crystallized droplets that come in different colours depending on the mood you imbue them with. Wearing one of these droplets can amplify emotions. Adding crushed ones to potions revolving around memory causes the user to feel the emotions they felt in that memory.
Usually, they're blue when they first become crystallized, but the one I have was pink initially.
..As An Alchemy Ingredient
Used as a catalyst for potions that promote clairvoyance and divination in regards to emotions. Wearing one can also cause you to feel emotions clearer and be able to identify them due to that. Other uses include wards and runes.
Gathering and Preparation Instructions
Unfortunately, I am honor bound to not tell you how to obtain them via Faerie Faun, but what i
can tell you is that they are very difficult to obtain and are usually not worth the hassle. Keepers of the Pygmy Faerie Faun generally sell the ones they find within the Glade. In order to gain one, the Fauns must feel great sorrow or intense joy to shed a tear. Thankfully, Fauns will give these willingly, no catches. If you buy them from Fae, make sure you know their rules and NEVER give them your name.
I should really write a guide on dealing with Fae and Fae-adjacent creatures. Perhaps I may.
Dear Future Apprentice, remind me about this next time it comes up!
Awww, they are so cute!
