Dreamdraught

Dreamdraught is a golden-yellow liquid that closely resembles the color of the berries used to produce it. It has a consistency that has been described as fizzy, airy, or bubbly, depending on the nuance of the individual maker. Those who have drank it describe it as oddly dry going down the mouth and throat, with a sharp minty taste.

Purpose

Dreamdraught is used in a ceremony called The Dreaming by those getting ready to take full vows as clergy of The Senary. It allows aspirants to acheive the necessary state they need to complete the Dreaming ritual.

Manufacturing process

In order to create Dreamdraught, the berries from the Sunny Bitterbush are harvested only after they have ripened and then preserved used carefully crafted spellwork that reduces the toxicity without removing the potency. It is this spellwork, which is divinely guided, that is so carefully guarded by the orders of the Senary. Using berries that have not ripened will produce a clear or light gold potion that is not potent enough for the Dreaming, and using berries that have gone past ripe will produce a potion of dark gold or ochre color that makes the consumer extremely sick.

History

The recipe for Dreamdraught has been perfected over the years by practitioners of The Senary to allow aspirants into their ranks to acheive the necessary comatose-like hallucination-inducing sleepstate they need to complete the Dreaming ritual, without killing anyone anymore. Nowadays, if you die, it's almost always considered the will of the gods instead of a mistake made by your clergy leadership.

Rarity

The formula for Dreamdraught is kept highly secret and taught only to certain Senary clergy tasked with making it. It is the only "safe" version of drug created with the use of the Sunny Bitterbush's toxic berries, so it can sell for quite a high amount of money on the black market.

Raw materials & Components

Dreamdraught is crafted primarily from the berries from the Sunny Bitterbush. However, it is the other ingredients that make it really work; most substances (drugs) crafted from these hallucinogenic and highly toxic berries are very addictive and still likely to kill you sooner or later, with terrible side effects. What else goes into dreamdraught to make it safe enough to use for The Dreaming Ritual is a tightly guarded secret of the few Senary clergy tasked with making it.
