Distribution: Marshes and on the shores of rivers and lakes across the Old World.
Effects: A bunch of Millweed can be used to make a healing poultice that can be applied to a wound during first aid (see Advanced Fighting Fantasy, p. 65), and will allow a healer to deduct two from the dice roll when testing their Healing Special Skill.
Cost: City 5sp, Town 4sp, Village 3sp (per poultice)
Availability: Common
Further Notes: Millweed takes its name for its habit of fouling the wheels of water-mills if its growth is not checked and cut back regularly.

Appearance: This is a thin-stemmed herb with ragged green leaves and clusters of lobed mauve flowers.

Availability: Uncommon
