Death Sleep

Death Sleep is an ancient poison originally brewed by the Mirril clan, which induces a death-like sleep on a person which they cannot be awakened from, and which will kill the person with time. An antidote, made with rare ingredients found on the Island exists, and the first person to brew it was Orin the Wise, the first Keeper of the Crystal.

Ingredients
The antidote to Death Sleep is made from:
 * 1) A spread hand of water from a clear pool on the Island which is filled with viscious leeches and whose bottom is covered in silvery sand.
 * 2) The sap from a moon-flower growing in the centre of the same pool.
 * 3) One drop of venom from the Great Serpent.
 * 4) The feather of a fighter bird for stirring.

Instructions

 * 1) Add the water from the leech pool.
 * 2) Add the sap from the moon-flower.
 * 3) Add the drop of Great Serpent venom.
 * 4) Stir three times with the fighter bird feather.
 * 5) Let the mixture still.

Orin the Wise, the first brewer of the antidote, made a rhyme that contained the recipe for the antidote, but which was hidden behind a riddle:

To mix the brew that wakes Death Sleep Fill one spread hand with silver deep. In hungry pool moons raise their heads: Pluck one and add the tears it sheds. Stir slowly with new fighter’s quill, Three times, no more, and let it still. Add venom from your greatest fear— One drop—and then the truth is clear.
