GOLDBERRY 🌿

It's a rare thing for one scent to captivate every traveller to the Realm.

Goldberry is that scent.

A walk through the Woodlands, leading to a clearing lined with apple trees, and a fresh splash from a pond.
All wayfarers are welcome here, and all leave rejuvenated.

Goldberry waits in the Artificiary.

A little piece of Viridian packing history.

Every truffle box is handcrafted from pour to store. The scents may have evolved, and some details refined, but the Guild has upheld the principles of eco-conscious, old-world charm that make opening a box feel like a gift from the Realm.

Discovery Boxes exist for one reason: discovery.

𝘾𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙘 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - signature blends
𝙎𝙤𝙡𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚 𝙏𝙧𝙪𝙛𝙛𝙡𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 - seasonal creations
𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙜𝙤𝙣 𝙀𝙜𝙜𝙨 - bold character scents

Does it take time to make and assemble all this by hand?

Yes, it does.

Is it worth the effort?

Always.

𝗔𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗢𝗻𝗲

There are things in the Realm older than their histories...

Eucalyptus and thyme rise first, green and clear, before cypress, cinnamon and nutmeg draw the scent deeper into the woodland.

Then cedarwood, olibanum and patchouli settle beneath it all. Darkly resinous and grounded.

Ancient woodland. Old libraries. A stone altar in the middle of the forest. The weight of all things that have endured.

For dark academia souls who prefer deep moody scents.

A fragment of the Realm, returned to a book.

New Lore Plates

The Guild has introduced something new.

Five bookmarks are now on the shelves.
Lore Plates - they are fragments of Viridian history, designed from original Realm lore and built around the words of those who recorded it.

Call of the Deep.
The First Keepers.
Names in Red.

Alongside them, The Sentinel and The Northern Sky carry geographical fragments of the Realm.

No generated imagery, no unnecessary vinyl, no lamination. No plastic casings.

Each is printed on paper cardstock and encased in a protective paper sleeve. Each sleeve is made and hand-wrapped to respect what it carries.

These are bookmarks meant to live in books.

To travel with them.
To gather a little wear.
To become part of the story.

The first Lore Plates are now available.

The Guild has not forsaken the Apothecarium.

The workshop has been exceptionally busy: new formulations are underway, the Chronicle demands its due, empty shelves are being replenished, and the 𝘋𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘬 𝘛𝘪𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 has been working with the Guild on the newest addition to the Apothecarium.

That work continues.

As do the immediate tasks.

For those who have been waiting: **𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝘀 𝗦𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗩𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗺 𝗩𝗶𝗻𝗰𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸**, with a small reduction coming shortly.

Letters from the Guild

Sometimes Guild messages leave the Realm by raven.

But most often messages travel beneath wax and parchment, tucked reverently into parcels bound for Flame-Bearers.

Each seal is pressed by hand. Each dispatch prepared with care. A small record that somewhere, beyond the mists, the Guild is still at work - and the Realm is alive.
