The Forsaken Baker's Remedy
Wendel Ashcombe arrived at the Crossroads seeking earthroot and mageroyal to make a salve for his deteriorating hands. The gate guards turned him away, but Anuk Ridgewalker brought him to her healer's tent to hear his purpose. After examining his wrapped hands and learning he used the herbs for his own baking work rather than plague business, Anuk gave him earthroot and peacebloom from her stores, instructing him to boil them together with fat. She rewrapped his hands properly and told him to return to the tent when he needed more, offering him a regular arrangement in exchange for fresh bread.
