	The first Elixir of Empyrean ~~art~~ was given as gift by Callidius of Wealdawn in an attempt to secure the affections of Tybalt of Magvillius. Their slow, fifteen-year courtship during which the pair exchanged clever gifts at each equinox and solstice is still a subject for the restrained romantic poetry of the Urizen.

	Some circumstantial evidence exists to suggest this elixir is addictive.

To date, few magicians have been rich enough to afford enough draughts of the elixir for this craving - if it exists - to become a problem.

	It should come as little surprise that the philtres of the high peaks were first codified by the [[Urizen]], but the original recipes themselves date back to the time of Terunael. The Urizen refined and developed them over the course of several centuries, improving their potency and efficiency, and by the time they joined the Empire the preparations were in the form they exist today.

	This thick red liquid visibly contains finely-chopped particulate and has a slightly salty taste; all factors that contribute to its common name.
