The tinctures of the open sky are useful preparations that slow bleeding and help mitigate injury. They allow a severely injured warrior finds it easier to endure their wounds, granting valuable time for a healer or chirurgeon to reach them. More than one veteran is alive today because of one of these preparations, and they are often referred to as elixirs of lifekeeping as a consequence.
As tinctures, the herbs used to brew these potions are dissolved in a small amount of alcohol. Unlike the harsher [{Tinctures of the Deep Forest]], the tinctures of the open sky require a much weaker solution and usually possess a more mellow flavour.
These preparations add ranks of the Fortitude skill. Additional ranks never stack with anything else that grants additional ranks in the same skill.
