The Art of Poisons
To learn a new recipe, a poisoner must find a teacher, which is generally either a poisoner of greater talent or a written record such as a book or scroll. Most high-level poisoners guard their knowledge jealously, paranoid that it will be used against them or will undermine a monopoly they enjoy in their homeland. Books are hard to find. Those not destroyed by the zealous are often held under lock and key.
