This sacred poison was used by the lizardfolk of the Vast Swamp in Cormyr.[1][note 1]

Effect

When poisoning occurred, the victim suffered instant paralysis for two to twelve minutes unless they had the fortitude to resist it.[1]

Users

The Poison Dusk lizardfolk of the Vast Swamp typically used this poison on their arrows to incapacitate foes, such as when they tried to ambush and capture a group of adventurers at the Skull Staff in the Year of Lightning Storms, 1374 DR. They typically laughed when a foe was paralyzed by it.[1]

Kessessek, chieftain of the Sharptooth lizardfolk, declined to share it with the adventurers afterwards, saying it was sacred to the god Semuanya.[2][note 2]

Appendix

Notes

  1. The name of this poison is unknown; "sacred lizardfolk poison" is used here for linking purposes only.
  2. This poison is the only one used by lizardfolk in the Cormyr: The Tearing of the Weave module, and only by Poison Dusk lizardfolk, suggesting it might be specific to that tribe. However, Kessessek of the Sharptooth tribe has a response refusing to give it to PCs, in a scene where Poison Dusks are apparently no longer present. This article assumes he is referring to this specific poison, and not to any or all poisons the lizardfolk might have.
