A shrub related to mesquite, native to deserts (but not dune
seas) and semiarid regions.
When properly refined, arduvaar
leaves contain
an extremely
powerful universal
antidote.
Arduvaar is prepared by boiling its tiny gray-green leaves in
strong alcohol, then straining the extract.
It may be used in
this form, but in normal practice the extract is allowed to
evaporate into powder, which has a much longer shelf life and can
be measured much more accurately. The powder is then dissolved
into wine or spirits and ingested.
Warning:
Even small
overdoses of arduvaar are dangerous.
For every ounce ingested
over the recommended four, the user must resist a level 20 poison
or lose 1-10 points each of temporary Constitution and Strength;

native to cold tallgrass plains or steppes.
Asgurash causes
complete paralysis of portions of the body in man-sized targets
or total paralysis in targets less than 3' tall. It is usually
applied by cuts to the torso, causing upper body paralysis.
Notes:
The raw venom has the same effect but is level -1.
Vipersweed is a specific antidote.
ASP VENOM (Po, RC1 04, a-Z-2, P, 50 GP, level 5): A white

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.

LAURELIN (L, RM 648, m-O-9, I, 999 GP, AF 21):
A rare
enchanted deciduous
tree, distantly
related to telperion,
originally native
to mild,
temperate ocean
shores,
now
cultivated.
It usually grows taller than 50' with a single
straight trunk. It has 4" arrowhead-shaped leaves, emerald green
above and golden below; 0.5" golden flowers which resemble those
of the cherry, and small golden nuts. When young and undamaged,
the edible leaves are Lifegiving for Elves (Eldani) if given
within 28 days of death. Laurelin is also highly prized for its
wood, which has a +20 enchantment value (mithril column) and a
low alchemical inertia factor of 2.
LAURRE (Pa, RC1 21, f-V-9, I, 29,500 GP, AF 0, level 120):
A small, rare, powerfully enchanted member of the lily family,
native to arctic and alpine tundra with heavily volcanic soil.

(GM discretion). Attempts at cultivation and cross-breeding with

lilies from warmer climates have not been successful.
LEMBAS (F, 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.
LESTAGII (Ph, RM 694, a-Z-9, I, 520 GP, AF 45): The ambercolored hexagonal crystal of auropyrinine, a complex, possibly
enchanted amino acid secreted by several species of golden fire
ants (genus Auropyrica), all native to hot, dry deserts or dune
seas.
Lestagii crystals are so rare because they are highly
water-soluble; any exposure to water destroys them. Lestagii is
edible and extremely sweet, but is valuable primarily because it
can restore any statistic losses other than those due to age;
however, it affects only one statistic at a time, the one most
heavily damaged.
LHUGRUTH (Po, RM 923, e-U-6, L, 300 GP, level 10): The gray
or black blood of several species of cold-dwelling drakes, which
rapidly (1-10 rounds) dissolves metals and organic materials, but
not glass, sand, or pottery.
MAIANA (Dc, RC1 22, B, 0.5 CP, AF 0):
An herb mixture
usually made into tea or used as seasoning in soup. Maiana is a
decongestant drug used to treat most respiratory illnesses. Its
active ingredient is the needles of the maia fir (t-C-1), a tall
conifer originally native to cool, temperate coniferous forests,
now widely cultivated.
MARGATH (Dc, RC1 23, A, 1 GP, AF 0): A salve made from an
herb mixture, margath is a potent anesthetic (1 round).
Its
active ingredient is the berries of margath (h-J-2), a creeper
native to tropical rain forests.
MARKU (Ph, RM 687, s-H-6, I, 30 GP, AF 5): The nuts of the
klagullu (see klagul).
Although more useful than the buds
(klagul), good nuts (marku) are harder to find.
MARSH FLUX (Di, RC1 26, level 20): An amoebic waterborne
infection found in nearly all climates, but usually in warmer
climates or those areas with sewage-contaminated water.
It
causes severe dehydration from diarrhea and vomiting, resulting
in coma (2-7 days) or death due to shock (20% chance); at
minimum, it causes diarrhea and vomiting (1-3 days).
MEGILLOS (Ph, RM 688, c-M-3, I, 12 SP, AF 19): A willow
native to cold mountain regions, usually found growing near water
or in aspen groves.
Its long, narrow, dark green leaves have
silver veins and white undersides, making them resemble the
"white swords" of the tree's Elven name.
These leaves are
edible, though sour, and contain a drug which doubles the user's
visual perception range for 10 minutes, or longer for races with
recovery multipliers less than 1.0. Megillos is also prized for
its hard white wood, which has a +10 enchantment value (magic
column) and a reasonably low alchemical inertia factor of 3.

MENELAR (Pa, RM 603, f-C-5, B, 65 GP, AF 4, level 7): A

rare dwarf spruce of frigid coniferous forests, found most
frequently near the timber line. It has dark blue-green needles
which grow in clusters of five and long, tapering, dark brown
cones.
A tea brewed from the mature but unopened cones contains
an antidote for circulatory poisons.
MERRIG (Ph, RM 695, s-S-8, B, 90 GP, AF 50): A small, very
thorny wild rose bush native to semiarid to temperate shortgrass
prairies. Its leaves look like those of other roses; its flowers
have five red-veined and red-edged white petals and yellow
centers.
A tea brewed from merrig thorns contains a drug which
can increase the user's Presence score by 5 points for one day,
so it
is particularly
prized by
Mentalism
spell-users.
Unfortunately, merrig tea is highly addictive, and withdrawal
causes the loss of 10 points from Constitution and 15 points each
from Reasoning and Memory; these losses heal naturally at one
point per month.
MIRENNA (Co, RM 631, c-M-3, I, 10 GP, AF 1): A thorny vine
related to
the blackberry
and dugmuthur, native to cold
mountains.

wildflower of the composite family native to cold shortgrass
prairies.
A salve made from its beautiful blue and gold flowers
will immediately stop all forms of bleeding when applied to a
wound (1 round).
MIRUVOR (Ph, I, AF 1): The famous enchanted Elven Brandy,
made in secret by many of the great Elven lords and given away to
the deserving, never sold.
Each preparer has a slightly
different recipe.
Miruvor renews the user's Endurance up to
three times per day and adds +30 to the user's resistance rolls
against fatigue and mental attacks for three hours. It is also
reputed to have a number of other beneficial effects, but like
all stimulants, the user cannot benefit from it indefinitely.
MOOK (Pa, RM 604, t-M-3, I, 30 GP, AF 5, level 3): A shrub
native to cool, temperate mountains. It has light green leaves
which resemble those of the silver maple, small pink flowers, and
pink berries.
The berries are edible, considered a delicacy in
some cultures, and contain an antidote for respiratory poisons.
MOOURARK (Po, RC1 29, f-U-9, L, 250 GP, level 5): A blue
condensed venom obtained from the saliva of the rark bat, an
enchanted white species native to frigid caves, often ice caves.
Moourark dissolves bone; at minimum, it has no ill effects.
Note: The raw saliva has the same effects but is only level 1.
MORGURTH (Po, RC1 30, s-U-9, L, 12,000 GP, level 60):
Probably the most potent poison known, morgurth is a black liquid
refined from the venom and/or blood of greater drakes by an
alchemical ritual which usually includes distillation with strong
alcohol in the presence of powdered gold or platinum; it must
then be protected from sunlight in a glass or ceramic container.
Morgurth dissolves the victim's brain; at minimum, it causes a
long coma (1-100 years). Note: Morgurth is both a nerve poison
and a reduction poison, requiring two separate antidotes. Durad
slows the effects of morgurth; laurre is a specific antidote.

paralysis; at minimum, it causes fever and delirium (4 days).
NAZA (Pa, RC1 25, e-W-9, I, 6,800 GP, AF 3, level 100): A
small, highly enchanted dandelion, related to ul-naza, native to
arctic and alpine frozen wastes. It has pale green leaves with
reddish edges, red-tinged golden flowers, and a root system which
frequently grows more than 6' deep. Its edible leaves contain an
extremely powerful, immediately effective universal antidote.
NELISSE (F, 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.
NELTHANDON (Pa, RC1 26, s-R-1, I, 1 BP, AF 0): A wildflower
of the composite family native to semiarid rolling hills which
resembles the marigold.
When eaten, its light green leaves are

collecting, washing, and grinding the lichen into powder, then
mixing the powder with lard. It causes fatal dehydration in 1-10
minutes.
ONDOKAMBA (Po, RM 910, c-U-3, L, 29 GP, level 2): A green
condensed venom obtained from the saliva of the ondokamba bat, an
enchanted species native to cold, dry caves. Ondokamba turns 1-4
hands and/or feet (one per 25% RR failure) to stone, making each
affected area operate at -75.
Note:
The raw saliva is also
level 2 but only causes a mild, temporary loss of dexterity in
the hands and/or feet (-15 to actions for 1-4 hours).
ORN (Po, RC1 32, m-T-3, L, 10 GP, level 5): The yellow sap
of the turid, a parsley relative native to temperate tallgrass

RUTH-I-IAUR (Po, 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-iiaur 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 (Po, 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

powder refined from the stalks of silmanar, a plant related to
parsley and water hemlock, native to temperate tallgrass prairies
and steppes.
Silmaana is prepared by boiling silmanar stalks in
water, then filtering and boiling the extract to dryness.
Silmaana scars the skin and gives 2-20 hits; it and similar
toxins are used by a number of cultures for personal decoration
(scarification) or identification of slaves.
SILRAEN (Ph, RC1 29, s-H-2, B, 1 BP, AF 3): A small shrub
related to heather, native to semiarid and temperate scrublands.
When properly refined, silraen leaves contain an analgesic and
sleep-inducing drug.
Silraen is prepared by boiling its tiny
gray-green leaves in water, then straining the extract. It may
be used in this form, but in normal practice the extract is
allowed to evaporate into powder, which has a much longer shelf
life and can be measured much more accurately.
The powder is
then dissolved into water and ingested. Warning: Overdoses of
silraen can be dangerous.
For every ounce ingested over the
recommended four, the user must resist a level 1 nerve poison.
SINDOLUIN (G, RC1 30, m-T-2, B, 2 SP, AF 0): A wildflower
of the composite family native to temperate tallgrass plains and
steppes which resembles the daisy.
When properly refined,
sindoluin flowers contain an anticoagulant drug used to treat
heart disease, stroke, and related illnesses, and is also a level

Sindoluin is prepared by boiling the golden flowers in water,
then straining the extract.
Warning:
If used improperly,
sindoluin can cause a patient to bleed to death.
SIRAN (Or, RM 671, s-S-6, I, 80 GP, AF 31): An enchanted
clove native to semiarid to temperate shortgrass prairies. When
eaten, the cloves magically restore one organ or area of the
body.
Warning:
Siran is toxic.
It causes a skin rash which
reduces Presence to 10% of the normal score and which causes
bleeding at 6 hits per round when afflicted skin is exposed to
full sunlight; these effects heal slowly in 4-6 weeks.
SIRIENA (Or, RM 672, s-S-5, B, 70 GP, AF 27):
A short,
fine, dark green grass, related to pasamar, native to semiarid to
temperate shortgrass prairies, which grows in tight clumps. When

prepared from the crushed fruit of slird, a creeper native to
tropical forests which resembles English ivy. Slird acts in 1-2
rounds; the victim loses the feeling in 1-6 extremities (head,
genitals, hands, feet) for 1-100 days.
Note:
If eaten raw,
slird fruit has the same effects.
SLOTA (Po, RM 927, t-D-7, P, 36 GP, level 5): A white paste
refined from the venom of the lightning spider, a tarantula-sized
trapdoor spider named for its lightning-swift hunting strike. It
was originally native to cool, temperate deciduous and mixed
forests, but is now bred in captivity, if not truly domesticated.
Slota is prepared by extracting the venom of at least a dozen
lightning spiders, then allowing it to dry slowly in a warm, dark
container (usually an earthenware pot kept near a fireplace).
Slota causes
slow paralysis (1 day) and death 1-10 days
afterwards.
Note:
The raw venom has the same effects, but is
not generally dangerous to humans (effective level -5).
SORUL (L, RM 649a, c-F-2, I, 1 SP, AF 0): A medium pine
related to the pi?on, originally native to cold, well-watered
forests, now widely cultivated. Its delicious nuts stabilize the
enchantment of nur-oiolosse, a Lifegiving herb, and are prized as

Its dark blue, delicious berries relieve one round of
stun.
SURLOK (Po, RC1 45, m-F-5, L, 200 GP, level 10): A clear
condensed venom obtained from the spines of the surn, a catfish
native to temperate, slow fresh water.
In mammals, surlok
dissolves the nerve receptors in the victim's fingers and toes,
destroying the sense of touch and ultimately leading to gangrene;
