Poisons

Poison is a weapon only for those who cannot fight for themselves with a physical weapon or magic.

Poisons are far from uncommon in the world for almost everyone. Only the dwarves are have yet to meet a plant or animal they couldn't eat without getting sick, which is how their first expedition to the Sunlit Lands nearly ended in a disaster.

Political Use

Throughout history, poisons have been used to change whose hand held power, money, property. So many, such an act is a high crime of a coward, while others believe the use of poison is only a way to allow someone of lesser means a chance to leave an impact on the world.
Among poisoners, most would quietly and secretly agree on preferring individualized poisonings. Wiping out an entire village by ruining the water supply generally leads to disaster for the surrounding area. Decades are dedicated to helping the land recover to only most of what the land had before.
Some poisons have the ability to not kill a person, but ruin their life, often considered a fate worse than death as the person has to live with the aftereffects of the poison.

Cooking

Some people use poisons for the fun of a personal challenge - though said poisons in those situations were far from deadly and instead used to add flavor to life.

Medicine

Some types of poisons are beneficial to one's health in small enough doses. Others are believed to be beneficial. A plant known for having a paralytic effect can be used to reduce pain. Healing Potions can be made using the Red Moon Bloom if the mushroom were harvested under the glowing light of the Red Moon. Otherwise the mushroom is a powerful laxative and useful for removing parasites within livestock and other large mammals of burden.
