days' nutrition.
Its active ingredient is the zuvar
mushroom (c-U-2), originally native to cold, damp, mineralrich caverns but now widely cultivated.
Most Dwarves
(Omikhani) develop a resistance to cram's slightly addictive
nature at an early age.
LEMBAS (I, AF 0): The famous enchanted Elven Waybread, made in
secret by many of the great Elven ladies and given away to
the deserving, never sold. Each preparer has a slightly
different recipe. If kept clean and dry, lembas keeps fresh
indefinitely. Each slice contains 30 small square doses;
each dose heals 1-10 hits, provides a full day's nutrition,
and adds +10 to the user's Constitution bonus for that day.
It is also reputed to have a number of other beneficial
effects.
NELISSE (RM 807, s-V-5, B, 9 SP, AF 15): A bush native to
semiarid regions with heavily volcanic soil, distantly
related to coca. A tea brewed from nelisse leaves causes
euphoria (50 to all actions) for one hour and yields one
day's nutrition. Warning: A substantial overdose (more
than 4 doses at once) of nelisse tea acts as a level 5 nerve
poison.
UKUR (RM 645, f-H-4, I, 34 SP, AF 1): A dwarf pine related to
the pion, native to frigid scrublands and moors and
frequently found near the timber line. Its delicious nuts
contain a full day's nutrition.
ULGINOR (RM 716, I, 4 SP per 4-oz slice or 35 SP per 10-slice
loaf, AF 0): An enchanted multi-grain bread commonly known
as Cheese Waybread; it tastes of cheese and spinach and
keeps fresh for 1-2 months. Each slice of ulginor provides
one day's nutrition. Its active ingredient is ulginor
spinach (c-O-1), originally native to cold ocean shores but
now widely cultivated.
General Healing Agents
ARKASU (RM 637, m-T-4, A, 12 GP, AF 2): A mildly enchanted
milkweed originally native to mild, temperate tallgrass
prairies, now widely cultivated. When applied to a wound,
its milky yellow sap heals 2-12 concussion hits and doubles
the wound's healing rate. Also, all parts of the plant are
edible.
ATHELAS (RM 639, t-C-5, B, 300 GP, AF 20): A small highly
enchanted shrub originally native to cool, temperate
coniferous forests, now widely cultivated. A tea brewed
from its dark green leaves is potentially capable of curing
any disease or injury while the patient is still alive,
although it cannot keep or give life. The magic of athelas
is highly dependent upon the status of the healer, however,
only reaching full potency in the hands of an "ordained"
king or similar individual. Athelas leaves and fruit are
also edible and highly nutritious, and are frequently used
in the Elven Waybread lembas.
BARANIE (RC1 04, m-D-2, B, 3 BP, AF 1): A wildflower of the
composite family which resembles the daisy, originally
native to temperate forests, now widely cultivated. A tea
brewed from its young leaves reduces nausea.

canopy tree of tropical rain forests. Its edible orangered, pear-shaped fruit heals damaged muscles.
Nervous System Restoratives
BELRAMBA (RM 662, s-C-6, B, 60 GP, AF 20): A greenish-black
lichen native to semiarid coniferous forests, related to
wifurwif. It thrives on pine resins, so it is found most
frequently growing on rocks surrounded by pines. A tea
brewed from a properly gathered and cleaned half-ounce dose
of belramba contains a powerful and potentially addictive
drug which repairs damaged nerves.
CULAN (RC1 08, B, 15 GP, AF 3): An herb mixture usually made
into tea or used as seasoning in soup. Culan is an antispasmodic drug used to treat conditions like epilepsy; it
also reduces the effect of certain poisons (GM discretion).
Its active ingredient is culan rye (h-T-4), a grass which
closely resembles rye, originally native to tropical
tallgrass plains or savannas, now cultivated.
FELMATHER (RM 642, m-O-5, I, 105 GP, AF 15): A short enchanted
bush adapted to mild, temperate regions with highly saline
and sandy soils, such as beach-front dunes. Its edible but
bitter leaves have two magical properties; the first allows
the user to mentally summon one "friend" (beasts or folk)

ETARKA (RC1 12, m-F-5, P, 120 GP, level 2): A white paste
prepared from the roots of the vandar, a potato relative
native to temperate freshwater coasts and wetlands.
Etarka is prepared by boiling vandar roots to soften them,
then grinding them into paste with a mortar and pestle.
Etarka causes slow death by destroying the circulatory

JADARAS (RC1 21, h-T-5, L, 750 GP, level 15): A clear oil
extracted from janar, a medium-sized blue-green grass
native to tropical grasslands (both tall- and shortgrass)
or savannas. Jadaras is prepared by boiling janar in soda
water or weak lye. The oil floats to the surface, where
it is collected and filtered. Jadaras causes loss of
coordination and dexterity, leading to losses of 5-50
points each from temporary Agility and Quickness and one
point from potential for every 10 temporary points lost;
at minimum, it has no ill effects.
KAKTU (RM 914, s-S-7, L, 29 GP, level 1): A clear oil
refined from the flowers of kaktu, a member of the
composite family native to semiarid to temperate
shortgrass prairies. Kaktu oil is extracted by boiling
the flowers for several hours in a large container. The
oil floats to the surface, where it is collected and
filtered. Kaktu affects 1-4 appendages (one per 25% RR
failure); the resulting dexterity loss in each affected
area reduces associated maneuver rolls by 1-100 (average
the rolls if more than one area is used). Note: If eaten
raw, the flowers have the same effect but are level -5.
TRUSA (RM 915, h-J-8, P, 31 GP, level 4): A clear paste
refined from the venom of the trusa tree frog, one of a
number of related "poison arrow frogs" native to tropical
forests. The trusa is a small emerald-green frog, rarely
exceeding 1.5", easily recognized by its brilliant red and
yellow vertical stripes and royal blue eyes. The raw
venom may be collected from the frog's back after
irritating or frightening the frog. The venom may be used
raw at attack level 1, or refined to level 4; in either
case, trusa acts in 1-10 rounds, killing the victim on RR
failures of 21+, causing coma and blindness on failures of
11-20, or causing blindness in 1-2 eyes on failures of 110.
Nerve
ACAANA (RM 916, f-M-7, P, 600 GP, level 10): A black paste
prepared from the flower of the acanloth rose, a close
relative of the ul-acanloth rose (see ul-acaana) native to
frigid mountains, particularly the alpine tundra just
above the timber line.
Acaana kills instantly by
destroying the nervous system. Note: If eaten raw, the
flowers act as a generic level 5 nerve poison.
ADDER VENOM (RC1 01, m-D-5, P, 500 GP, level 10): A black
paste condensed from the venom of several species of
adder, all small to medium snakes of the viper family
Viperidae, most native to temperate forests. Adder-venom
paste kills in 5 rounds by destroying the nervous system;
at minimum, it causes paralysis for 1-100 rounds. Note:
Raw adder venoms are generic nerve poisons of varying
level.
AJKARA (RC1 02, h-J-5, I, 750 GP, AF 25, level 10): A
beautiful blue and white orchid native to tropical rain

MURNAN (RC1 31, h-J-7, L, 500 GP, level 10): A canopy tree
of tropical rain forests which frequently grows taller
than 150'. It has long, fleshy, dark green leaves like
those of the rubber tree and a tall, straight trunk. Its
yellow sap causes paralysis; at minimum, it causes fever
and delirium (4 days).
PENTANOTH (RC1 36, h-O-5, L, 4,000 GP, level 40): A clear
oil pressed from the pentanoth, a kelp native to warm
ocean shallows. It grows up to 20' long and it has a
cluster of five broad blue leaves. Pentanoth causes coma
(1-4 days); at minimum, it causes loss of will (6-12
hours). Note: As the minimum effect is frequently more
desirable, many users cut the dosage level. Note: Raw
pentanoth has the same effects, but is level 5. Boiling
alters the toxin, making pentanoth a flavorful, slightly
intoxicating delicacy in some cultures.
PHOROZ (RC1 37, m-T-1, L, 48 GP, level 4): A clear liquid
extracted from the pollen of the phoroz lily, native to
temperate tallgrass plains and steppes.
Phoroz is
prepared by steeping the pollen in vinegar for 7-10 days,
straining the extract, then allowing the extract to
evaporate to half its former volume. Phoroz causes slow
paralysis (1-10 hours) and death (1-4 days); at minimum,
it numbs the limbs (-40 to actions for 1-10 hours).
RUTH-I-IAUR (RM 919, s-U-7, L, 56 GP, level 4): A brownish
liquid which can be refined from the saliva of most
species of drakes and their relatives, usually by
extracting the saliva with vegetable oils, then distilling
the extract.
Ruth-i-iaur causes rapid (1-20 rounds)
erosion of the nervous system, leaving the victim at -50
to -100 activity (-50 for RR failures of 1-25, -75 for
failures of 26-50, or -100 for failures of 51 or more).
SARNUMEN (RC1 41, m-O-8, L, GP, level 30):
A blue
concentrated venom obtained from the spines of the numen
eel, a large bluish-black eel which lives in temperate
shallow seas for most of its life but migrates to fresh
water to spawn. Sarnumen causes a nervous disorder which
causes the victim to act at -50; at minimum, it has no ill
effects.
SHIROLOS (RC1 42, m-T-3, L, 300 GP, level 10): A clear
yellow brandy distilled from shira, a grass, originally
native to temperate tallgrass plains or steppes, now
cultivated, which closely resembles rye.
Shira beer,
called shirale, is only slightly more intoxicating than
normal beer; however, shirolos immobilizes the victim and
causes a suggestive trance; at minimum, it causes severe
drowsiness (-100 to actions).
SHUTINIS (RC1 43, h-J-7, L, 600 GP, level 13): A brown
concentrated venom obtained from the hultif, a large
beetle related to the stag beetle, native to tropical rain
forests. It has a jade-green back with brown scale-like
patternings. Shutinis causes insanity; at minimum, it
causes distraction (1-100 hours). Note: Hultif venom has
the same effects but is only level 1.
