Illustrated Guide To Rare Poisons

This book is the first compilation of rare poisons found throughout Atreia.

Our hope is that this book will help to save lives, and that others will add to our work.

O merciful Lady Yustiel, protector of the Elyos! May your blessings be with us!

Yormunad's Venom

Category: Animal

Extraction: Found in venom sacs in the mouth of the Yormunad. Squeeze the venom sacs for a highly distilled poison.

Symptom: A single drop may result in instant death.

Antidote: None known.

As there is no available antidote, it is highly illegal for import or distribution within Elysea. The Black Cloud Traders have been known to smuggle it.

Moonflower Root

Category: Plant

Extraction: Puree a fresh root from a Moonflower that is at least ten years old. Alternatively, dry the root and grind it to powder.

Symptom: Victims who ingest one spoonful or more will suffer from a high fever for three or four days, then show abnormalities in the bronchii, and die of dyspnea. It is also possible to be poisoned by inhaling the fumes from burning the dried roots.

Antidote: A neutralizer can extracted from the Moonflower's spore pouch through a complicated process. Odella can also neutralize the poison.

Wriggot's Wrath

Category: Mixture of animal and plant poisons

Extraction: Mix the venom of a Sap Wriggot with the crushed thorn of a Tripeed in the ratio of 7 to 3.

Effect: Continuous exposure results in poisoning. Victims suffer from nightmares and illusions. Obsessed by delusion, some take their own lives.

Antidote: Long-term drinking of the tea obtained by decocting Tripeed fruits can help manage symptoms. No antidote has yet been discovered.

Abyss Curse

Category: Mineral

Extraction: Mix Citrin powder, abrasive powder, elemental stone powder and floating shards from the Abyss in the ratio of 2:4:2:1. Add elemental water to the mixed powder. Distill the mixture to extract the Abyss Curse.

Effect: Inhaling this powder may cause various diseases of the respiratory organs. Asthma and phlegm are the most common symptoms. Repeated inhalation causes the powder to accumulate in the lungs, and leads to death.

Antidote: Cleaning the sinus cavities and the respiratory tract with Greater Elemental Water may reduce symptoms. It is impossible to eliminate the powder accumulated in the lungs.
