Samatak

Samatak is the most common and widely used illicit substance in Kermoria, easily accessible to those who seek its calming effects. Known for its ability to induce a peaceful, euphoric state, Samatak is a hardy plant that flourishes in many regions, particularly in wild and untamed areas. While it can be cultivated with the right seeds and care, it is often found growing naturally in the sheltered, humid corners of dense forests, deep jungles, and even in the shadowed reaches of the Underdark. The plant is known for its resilience, thriving in low-light conditions and requiring only moderate warmth and a steady supply of water to grow. Its leaves, when dried and consumed, produce a soothing effect, making it popular among those looking for relaxation or a temporary escape from their worries.

While not as potent as other illicit substances that may be refined or enhanced with magical influences, Samatak is beloved for its availability and low cost, making it a staple among the common folk and traders alike. The bustling markets of Kermoria often hide small, discreet trades of dried leaves or smoked offerings, with some dealing openly in the streets, while others operate in the shadows of alleyways. To many, Samatak is simply a way to unwind after a long day, but for others, it is a means of escape from the harshness of life. A loosely organized network of cultivators, smugglers, and dealers has ensured that this plant remains widespread across Kermoria, solidifying its place as the most accessible illicit substance in the land.
