[World Lore] - Tears of Svandara

[squakhawk 14044]

 

Material Name and Description

Coming from only three locations upon all of Azuras, The Tears of Svandara are a colloquial name for the waters which come from three particular falls within Skjolvindr and Rimeglen.

The waters themselves seemed somewhat ordinary, if less viscous than normal water - more akin to pure alcohol. The waters as well would give off a mild sheen-like-gleam that made it easily distinguishable from ordinary liquid. Bearing an almost deep aqua blue colour, the liquid was easily stored and bottled, always keeping an icy-cool temperature that was sensed, but never offensive or unwelcome. On its own, the liquid was tasteless and odorless. 

 

Applications

When ingested, The Tears of Svandara would produce a strong morphine-like effect, slowing down bodily processes and functions in exchange for the nullification of pain and discomfort. With other additive effects, such as being a natural anti-emetic and anxiolytic, the waters would be a welcome medicine to someone in significant pain or discomfort. 

The Tears of Svandara required to be ingested as a straight liquid in order for it’s effects to be realized, with roughly [25]mL constituting [1] serving. The effects go as follows.

[1] Serving - Dulling of pain, discomfort, anxiety, and nausea. The mind would be dulled and reaction times/general speed would be significantly slowed. These effects would last [12 OOC] hours. Movement speed and carry weight would be halved in total, unable to perform any physical exertion during this time.

[2] Servings - Complete nullification of pain, discomfort, anxiety, and nausea. The mind would be further dulled as one would be unable to perform any physical movement other than positional changes, walking, talking, and heavily slowed manipulation with extremities. One would find themselves in total bliss and comfort, sedated and tired as they were in total peace. These effects would last [12 OOC] hours from the second ingestion.

[3] Servings - Bodily processes would continue to slow as one would peacefully enter a comatose state, sedated heavily as they lost all voluntary bodily movements, thoughts slow and fogged. Fond memories and dreams would flood the mind as a warmth would overcome the slumberer, muscle rigidity fading. Shortly after ingestion, one would pass away within [5 IRP] minutes of ingestion.
