Bluemarrow
The legendarily life-ruining drug harvested from the bones of a dead god
Price: 1000 GP
ABOUT
A lethally dangerous iridescent drug that can only be found through a complicated mining process meant to extract the marrow that lies within the bones of the titanic skeleton that lays over the city of Scalemoor, Bluemarrow is infamous for its high addiction rate and horrible side-effects...mutation, insanity, and blindness/deafness amongst them. Outlawed within the lands of Draconia and actively destroyed in the neighboring countries of The Inhuman Coalition and The Dwarven Peaks where it has begun to make inroads, it has also wormed its way over the sea to The Endless Sands, where the slavemasters there use it to keep their slaves docile.
Exorbitantly expensive due to the secretive, complicated mining process neccesary to extract the unrefined substance from the marrow of Scalemoor's patron skeleton as well as the inherent danger that comes with dealing with it, Bluemarrow is an infamously lethal narcotic that Draconia hunts with zealous vigor, eradicating and often preferring to execute those who deal in it rather than worry about imprisoning them, so dangerous is it.
