JALAZIN (#25/31, #145/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a vine-like climbing plant, with small triangular green leaves, and white star-shaped flowers that release a sweet heady intoxicating fragrance around dusk.

Distribution: Hills, plains and woods in the warmer areas of Titan. 

 

Effects: The perfume of Jalazin flowers can be collected at dusk in a vial and is thought to be a component in alternative recipes concerning several alchemical preparations including Love Potions and Potions of Obedience.

Cost: City 2gp, Town 3gp, Village 4gp (per bunch of flowers)

 

Availability: Common

WRAITHBANE (#26/31, #146/365) [TTHA] 

Appearance: This is a ground hugging species, with long tattered fibrous green leaves, and brown spiky cone-shaped flowers.

Distribution: Deserts and wilderness across Titan

 

Effects: The cones of the Wraithbane plant can be put in a brazier and burned. They give off a dull flame, and a sweet, hazy, scented smoke. This smoke will banish any non-corporeal Undead present, including Wraiths, Spectres, Ghosts, Shades and so on, but will not affect Skeletons, Zombies, Ghouls, Mummies and other shambling menaces. The non-corporeal Undead will disappear with 1-6 Attack Rounds of the brazier being lit.

Cost: City 12gp, Town 24gp, Village 36gp (per cone)

 

Availability: Rare

Further Notes: Wraithbane is thought to be related to cacti and is cultivated by several races that dwell in arid areas, including Desert Elves, Sand Stalkers and the Caarth.
