Introduction

This rare and unusual herb is usually found in the swamp of Magna Attia, near the ancient and often feared ruins of the old Attian civilizations. It is known for having minor voidal magical properties, likely a result of festering in a place that has been steeped in Voidal Magic for centuries, that being the ancient Attian ruins that dot the swamp of Magna Attia. Because of their connection with the stagnant and disease-ridden waters of the swamp, they’re very useful for creating poisons that can burn and infect an enemy’s wounds, inflicting pain and suffering onto those unlucky enough to be struck with them. However, due to the relationship, they have with the swamp and the void, they cannot be domesticated anywhere outside of Magna Attia.

Description

Titan's hair is a fungal plant covered in black strands of what appears to be thick hair. The strands of thick, swampy hair feel disgusting to the touch like they were pulled straight from a troll’s scalp. Slimy and unpleasant, the smell of this herb could be enough to make those of a weaker constitution wretch and gag. If a user is unlucky and touches the inside of the plant, behind the thick black strands, the fungus will inflict a painful reaction. The reaction starts out like a sting before it grows into a burning sensation. The reaction can be nullified with plenty of soap and water, only if the reaction was with direct skin and not an open wound.

Though the smell is like death, it doesn't compare to the taste. Those unfortunate enough to taste this plant report a horrendous experience. The strands of hair feel like barbed wire on the tongue, causing the mouth and stomach to suffer in a burning sensation; and passing it through the body isn't pleasant either. Not poisonous when raw, but will have the user suffering through both exits.

Usage

The plant can be used to create potions that are very deadly and can be used in many circumstances.

  • Hair Strand
When boiled down into a liquid, these strands of hair can be made into lethal poisons that can be applied to weapons such as swords, daggers, and arrows or used to poison drinks and food.
