Hora dust

Type

A dried powder found only in the deserts of Muspait

Description

This is a fragrant powder with hints of cinnamon, molasses, and myrrh. In color it is variegated in shades of red, brown, and purple.; the darker the color the stronger the dust. 

Little is known about the source of this dust. When you can get an Aiel to admit to knowing about them, they will usually mutter something about the "gift of the Jenn Aiel."

Uses and Effects

When ingested this dust grants the ability to learn the answer to a question. Most often snorted up the nose or melted under the tongue, the user can meditate on a question pertaining to the next 24 hours, and receive a flash of vision in response. From the perspective of the user, this is nearly instantaneous; in the real world, the user goes catatonic for an hour.

The dust does have some side effects however. Overconsumption will turn the eyes bright blue. It is also a highly addictive substance and after a few doses additional dust is required to achieve the vision.
