[Completed] Kivdrona's Opium Epidemic

[Joltastik 506]

An opium den somewhere in Kivdrona's Undercity.

Another tragedy has struck Kivdrona! From within the Undercity, a yet unidentified band of ne'er-do-wells has been siphoning steady batches of synthesized Opium to sell among the local populace! Often sealed and sold in bags and smoked with the help of a pipe, this stupefying tranquilizer comes in the shape of a black, putty-like substance which looks much like hashish, though it packs a much harder punch!

 

It seems that the average Kivdronan dwelling among the impoverished castes of the Outskirts and Undercity has quickly taken a liking to the newly peddled drug, perhaps in an effort to distract themselves from the wanton loss caused by the devastating sickness Dr. Chelka now promises to cure.

 

The Church of the Fifth Scroll admonishes both accessing Mr. Chelka's treatments and consuming the juice of the Poppy as material vices, which seek to stray believers from the grace of the coming Ark. Alas, we live in a material world; and material problems require material solutions!

 

Meanwhile, one would find themselves increasingly uneasy whenever venturing within the scattered, torn rampants of the Undercity or Outskirts on account of increased social distress.

A certain figure instantly establishes networks with the smuggling hooligans. She ensures that a hefty amount of the product constantly finds a way to herself, no matter the location she reside at. Oddly enough she also purchases a pipe.

Remon lies in Kivdrona, his corpse buried in the graveyard. Tens of stab wounds cover his rotting body, a disgusting stench emanating from the dead elf..

A finger twitches.
