Background
Though he spends his days lost in dream-like reveries of an remarkable past, nothing that Eltas says about his life can possibly be true. If it were, he would be the oldest man in Middle-Earth and he once dwelt in Tol Eressëa where he had been allowed to drink Limpë, the magical elixer of immortality.
He also claims that he is close to a breakthrough in concocting this elixer himself, but it is doubtful that his potions are anything more than the common medicinal tonics - often with excessive amounts of Fumellar extract.
Despite his insistance to the contrary, many are convinced that Eltas' concoctions - both literal and figurative - contain a heavy dose of snake oil.
(OOC Note - Eltas "remembers" an impossible jumble of events of Lost/Unfinished Tales and insists they are true.)
