The purple lotus plant, which grows in the southern swamps of Stygia, is a favorite weapon of sorcerers. The juice of the plant causes a temporary paralysis - a seemingly sorcerous effect that does not require the actual use of sorcery.
As such it has become extremely popular as a blade coating and for treating the small needles used in traps and trick rings.
