Description

Misnamed by ignorant travelers who believed it harmful to the mountain folk, Dwarvenbane Root is in truth prized by dwarven healers above all other remedies. This gnarled brown root grows in the darkness of mountain caves, drawing sustenance from mineral-rich stone.

Properties

The root possesses remarkable ability to purify the blood of toxins and poisons. Many a miner has been saved from the effects of cave vapors or venomous creatures by swift application of this remedy. It also strengthens the bones when taken regularly over many seasons.

Preparation

The root must be dried for seven days, then ground to fine powder. Mix with strong ale for immediate consumption, or press into tablets with binding agents for later use. Never consume raw, for unprocessed root causes violent illness.
