Athin is a curious little algae that grows beneath not completely frozen lakes, most commonly found within the snowier parts of the realms. It’s light blue visage is somewhat easy to make out in the correct circumstances, but at the same time it could be quite hard to see due to the fact it prefers growing in lakes clouded by ice and snow. Finding this plant is an absolute certainty if one were to crack a hole in a decent sized layer of ice that leads to a source of fresh water, by with that absolute certainty comes absolute death if one is not accompanied by a friend. It is true that it takes two to harvest Athin due to the fact if you are to crack a hole in the ice, chances are it will be covered once more by the time you find a good, fertile specimen of Athin within the depths of the lake and therefore you will need a college to smash another hole into the frigid depths below for you to make your escape. The proper gear will also be needed so one does not suffer from sickness from the cold, especially frostbite. Overall Athin is somewhat easy to find, but difficult to gather. Although, with great risk often comes great reward and Athin is no exception, for it can be a fairly strong symbol for Water and not just life or balance, but ice. Athin is one of the few herbs you will find that will make an excellent symbol of the colder half of Water for any potion that is centered around frigid temperatures. I also hear it makes a wonderful lotion, but I digress.

Athin is a blue algae that grows in freezing waters and serves as a potent water symbol for alchemists. Its location however can make it particularly difficult to harvest requiring aid. First one would have to find a spot where snow and ice do not block vision into the waters below. Should athin be located then the real dangers come into play.

If the ice is too thin it could break beneath the harvester’s feet causing them to fall into the freezing water. Those who manage to find a hole with which to enter the water might then lose their way down in the darkness, unable to find their way out. Or perhaps the harvester fails to taking precautions with heating before entering the water and then freezes in the cold winds once they’re out.

The reward however is worth the risk as athin is one of the best materials out there that is fireproof. Many who carry around or make alchemist fire will keep some athin on them for safety precautions. It even makes a great cooling lotion.

Effects on use

  • Cools the skin that it touches however if too much athin is applied this can result in a light frostbite.
  • It also tends to leave behind a blue hue where it touches.

Alchemical uses

  • Strong water symbol, representing freezing, ice, life, and balance.
  • Often an ingredient in colder potions.
