Corpsemaker's Venom

This derivative poison of a rare tree found in northern Staeloria is a very niche use poison, mostly due to its extremely rapid action. Many times the poisoner is found out by simply how fast the poison takes to work. That combined with the fact that it must be ingested makes it difficult to use, however it has seen some use and in the northern provinces, it is often used as a test of manhood, ingesting a small amount of the root or a small dose of the poison itself

Manufacturing process

Ironwood root shavings should be left to soak in water for 24 hrs, then the resultant dilution should mixed with sap to dilute and potentiate the active ingredients in both. Frozen toad venom should be dribbled in, too quickly and it may freeze the mixture. Lastly, add scourge crystals. These will evaporate as the venom is processed and leave behind the characteristic black colour of the venom.
