This plant has a single main stem with small fern like leaves, and
small pink flowers growing from it. These flowers must be dried, powdered,
and mixed into wine and then drunk to counter the effect of injected poisons.
A successful application means that only half normal damage is taken from
the poison. In addition to this use, the flower is often counted as a symbol
of faith between lovers and is used to decorate and garnish foods at weddings.
According to Greek mythology, this plant was used by the centaur, who wounded
by Hercules with an arrow poisoned with the Hydra’s blood, treated himself
with it.

A blue-grey herb smelling faintly of nutmeg that heightens the user's
senses. Overdosage or prolonged usage causes photosensitivity, distraction
and nervousness; on the other hand, prolonged usage can also make the effects
permanent. Nightcall gradually dyes the long-term user's hair, teeth, nails,
horns, or scales midnight blue. (The minimum dose of 1 tsp gives
the eater +100' sight range, +10% hearing, and +1 to Wisdom/Intuition and
Dexterity scores. The effects increase proportionately to the dosage,
to no more than +400/40/+4. Dosages over 1 tsp, or 1 tsp taken several
days in a row, will cause addiction.) |
