Whiteout

The insidious drug of Yema design that brings silence to the soul itself

Price: 100gp

ABOUT

This silvery, platinum-colored smokeable powder emits a tangible aura of Quietude - no sound penetrates it or the surrounding area where it lies or is held. If rumors are to be believed, it originates from the servants of the bastardous Yema, or foreign gods - a powder made at the instructions of an evil, villainous Dragon of Platinum from far afield to slowly tear Zheng-Kitar apart one person at a time.
The side effects of this drug are not completely documented, but rumored to be of the most vile sort - the silence it invokes is one of the soul, which deafens one to communication from not only other creatures and telepathic beings, but the gods themselves. As for its other side effects, they are unknown, but rumored to be even worse - though for none to be able to truly document them its fear has spread all the wider.

A commune spell that is triggered automatically(No casting time or components, 10 rounds) over the course of an hour, which contacts a random being associated with the Zheng-Kitaran host of divine beings(Spirit Kings, Elemental Lords, Elemental Saints, Lesser Idols, etc).
