The ruler of Caanae, [[Iktov Sholet]], invested his riches into developing protections from the intense heat. Scholars and herbalists searched the world trying various combinations of plants and roots. [[Zangrilla Sylvia]], a specialist in forestal herbs, discovered that by consuming the root of the nightshade plant the immune system provided a barrier to solar allergy. | ||
This discovery gained the herbalists a new respect in the eyes of the people. Sholet granted resources to these herbalists and commissioned a new section of the city, devoted specifically to research. Thus on the first day of the year 715, [[Academia Herbalis]] was founded. Over the next two centuries, cures that have been taken for granted by modern cultures were discovered. They revealed that boiling a combination of ingredients together would form elixirs with healing and protective properties. Sylvia's nightshade cure was further developed into an elixir of frost. When imbibed this elixir chilled one's skin enabling them to easily endure the scorching heat of the desert. | This discovery gained the herbalists a new respect in the eyes of the people.
