Native Imarel Flora - by T.A. Saunders, B.Kellestine, K.Johnson v3

The Qazar is a rather pungent-smelling plant found primarily in western Tal`Rah. Thought to be a natural defense mechanism to keep predators from eating them, the strong odor this flowerless plant emanates comes from a secretion that forms on its thick, broad leaves. If properly cultivated, the secretion can be used as a natural insect repellent and a means of which to throw off one's scent from tracking animals. Only small dabs of this secretion are needed; excess amounts will cause watering eyes and likely repel people from the wearer as well. The scent has been compared to ‘boiled Masoq hair' by one herbalist. If one can get past the smell, the leaves of the plant are both edible and can provide proper sustenance for somebody trying to survive in the outdoors.
