Fountainwater

Fountainwater is a substance not native to Welt that has the extroadinary to heal the wounded and the sick.
== Overview ==
Fountainwater was found in Dalmeran after a comet full of liquid crashed into the planet. The unusual fact about this liquid is that it has the unusual property of retoring health. These comets still fall frequently on welt, and a gold rush phenomenon is observable amongst the Dalmer whenever such a comet arrives on the planet. These comets when they crash are often referred to as sources of immortality, or fountains of youth.
== Effects  ==
Ingesting the liquid produces the following properties:
* The ability to regenerate DNA damaged by sufficient duplication
* Heightened excitement of cellular duplication
* Vastly improved abilities in the repair of damaged tissue
* A frightening increase in the effectiveness of the immune system.
These properties were found to be the product of an active agent found in the liquid.
Upon testing the liquid, hostile bacteria and viral agents are destroyed immediately.
== Production ==
The original fountain of life was quickly found to be very limited, and its stores were hoarded by the high king himself, who designed a way to use this prodigious liquid for medical purposes. The name comes from the fact that the Dalmer tirelessly hunt down these comets, to extract the water from it to place within the Fountain of life in Dalaris. This was discontinued as demand grew to such an extent that most Fountainwater spends very little time at the fountain before being sent off to the far reaches of the Empire. Bottling plants were later built all around the empire in Medbays to ease access to the health technology. This had several ill effects in the long run.
== Limitations ==
The most common limitation of fountainwater is its limited supply and its near impossibility to duplicate.

==Other race usage of Fountainwater==
While the other races have a more esoteric view of what Fountainwater is, they have their own medicines and cure all's that in some aspects ressemble Fountainwater.
===Red barrels ===
Fountainwater is explosive. This is one other reason why the other races keep stealing it from the Dalmer.
=== Health potions ===
The degree of power of health potions depends on the dilution of Fountainwater.
=== Panacea ===
Panacea is an other race medicine thought to emulate the effects of Fountainwater. Panacea is a colorless, odorless liquid extracted from bodies via special containers and bottled. Drinking the alternative extends the life of the user, slowing the process of aging and often either slowing or completely ridding the body of disease. It may even be used to heal major wounds if drunk quickly enough. Repeated use of alternative prolongs life indefinitely, but results in a strong dependency upon its properties and many frequent users show borderline sociopathic tendencies in regards to its creation.
Witches are the principal producer of Fountainwater. 
Ingredients include such materials as live sapients, leeches, skullcap seeds, chicken fetuses, snake skin, ginger root, mandrake root, lily-of-the-valley-water, spider eggs, and nearly two dozen more items, in varying amounts.
Supplies list, including a boiling pot large enough for a child along with water and many ingredients, and a strainer made from fresh spiderwebs among other things.
Instructions list, detailing rather elaborately the exact amounts of materials and timing needed to successfully create, distill, and bottle alternative.
For obvious reasons pertaining to Guest Theory, the Dalmer cannot produce Panacea, but they have no qualms about stealing it. 
== Sources of fountainwater ==
Fountainwater can be found in several areas in Welt, most often small islands in the ocean where the inhabitants are invariably unnaturally long lived. 
Other islands where Fountainwater is found include the circular isle, the Isle of Pan and the Lost island. 
=== The circular isle ===
An island with the fountain of youth reappears and disappears in a cycle. In reality the island goes through its life cycle in reverse. It slowly emerges from the sea, its vegetation grows from ashes and smoke into a verdant jungle, before becoming younger and younger and the island becomes engulfed in lava and fire from an active volcano that slowly sinks into the sea, until the cycle will repeat again.
