The Dose

Created somehow on The Velden Isles one pill would rearrange their brains of elves on the isles into a different configuration where sleep was simply no longer required. For elves that have left the Velden Isles this pill removes the need for sleep for about a week with no other side effects. For humans the pill also removes the need for sleep for about a week or so, at which point the effect of the lost sleep starts to catch up with the user unless they take another pill. Withdrawal from The Dose can be painful for humans and sometimes fatal.
