Growth Cycle

Quroi is grown as a flower, with pink leaves, thorns, and a black blossom. Once the leaves are plucked from the mature flower, they must be bathed in salted icewater, then dried. Typically, the resulting leaves are shredded and stored in casks of oil for any travelling. Once withdrawn from the oil, washed and dried, they will retain their potency for a fortnight in a leather pouch.

Regional Information

In the second century Telemenxek Guards began to confiscate small pouches of acrid-smelling pink leaves from certain street gangs and bandit groups. An herbalist from Kazamki was finally brought in by a wealthy merchant to identify it, as the drug known as Quroi which comes from across the eastern sea via the Berjeron mariners. Quroi has since spread through the underground of many cities throughout the continent, especially amongst street gangs, gladiators and strongmen.

Uses

Chewing the leaves of quroi regularly makes one grow stronger and larger all the more easily and effectively. Unfortunately for it's chewers, it also had debillitating effects on the mind, and makes one's thinking slow and ponderous.
