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

This flower normally grows as a shrub, with silvery leaves that have a core of black to them and veins of black that come from the similarly dark heart of the bush. Though this plant was once cultivated for his beautiful and rich look, the poison that is wrought from the dark wood of the shrub and steeped from the leaves and flowers was more than enough reason to try and destroy it where it was found.

A poisoner's friend, when any part of the bush is boiled or steeped in water, the poison is formed as a dark watery substance, flavorless and odorless. This poison brings on hasty paralysis, the lungs filling up with a dark fluid and rupturing them, the victim technically is unable to move and then drowns in 1d4 rounds. The antidote for this poison must be made specifically for the victim and takes 1d4 rounds to make, requiring a sample of the fluid in the lungs and the victim's hair. If the victim is immediately returned to an infirmary or similar facility before the rounds complete to death, healers can drain the victim's lungs long enough to get the antidote made. This poison does not respond to healing of either medicinal or sorcerous kind.  Recently, a rapid-deployment cure, involving a misting injection directly into the lungs was created, so that a need for a medical facility is no longer required. (contributed by K.
