The dark green leaves of this herb are soft, moist and an excellent smoking tobacco. Sweetspice is a hallucinogen and gives a definite "high" when smoked. | |
| Fireweed | Legal | Common | 1 copper | A sweet, spongy tobacco. It is quite common in the southlands of Ithria and grows in many arid, rocky regions there. 1 copper piece will buy a small pouch of fireweed, enough for one smoke. It has a very spicy scent and flavor. Raw fireweed can be chewed. It’s proper alchemical name is calanthas. The grum use fireweed in some of their cooking. It is very common in the south. It is a mild sedative. It can be concentrated, through an alchemical process, to produce a mild sleep potion. |
Rothka Weed |
Legal |
Rare |
1 gold |
This tobacco is very strong and has a foul, bitter flavor that many do not like. However, Rothka smokers swear by the stuff. It can be easily recognized by its oily black leaves. |
| Kelfarian Redleaf | Legal | Rare | 5 gold | The very finest tobacco to be had throughout the lands. One of two types. Redleaf is noted for its deep red color and sweet flavor. |
| Kelfarian Blackleaf | Legal | Rare | 4 gold | A darker variant of Kelfar with an almost black appearance and more robust, pungent aroma. |
| Firestar Pollen | Shady | Rare | 2 gold | This blue powder is often mixed with other tobaccos. It produces strong hallucinations. |
| Black Sticks | Legal | Rare | 3 gold | An expensive "pipeless" tobacco. These black sticks are formed from pressed resin, spices, herbs and tobacco. It is lit and smoked like a cigarette without the need for a pipe. Notable for a very strong odor which some people find disagreeable. Because of the cost, black sticks are usually only used by wealthy nobles. The powerful stench of these things are usually overpowering to sensitive elvish noses. Phellysians are usually allergic to black sticks... the smoke of winch causes accelerated breathing and a racing heart. |
