 Travellers through terrain treacherous enough for the lights to be required usually have a great respect for fellow peregrinators, and so accounts of paths being nefariously rerouted into loops, or broken altogether, are thankfully rare, and the lights are therefore effective.

One of the major ingredients used is the Fefferberry, of course, but just as important are the many lesser ingredients which are used to sustain the lights' hue and intensity over their luminous durations, protect them from the elements--a major problem with some of the earlier types--such as wind and rain, and various other reasons. Some of the berries have picking seasons, and so as to make the most use of our time, we now use Andelphracian Lights to lead collectors back to the best groves so that they can pick by lantern.

 <p>"We then 'brew' the collected ingredients using a special process which takes a number of weeks or years depending on the exact recipe used. When Andelphracia herself invented these lights, it's thought she must've created a weaker variant since we're now able to produce some fairly nice hues thanks to the longer process, but we don't know for certain.</p>
