THE
PULIQUAY |
Appearance. The Puliquay is a rare herb
found mostly on the continent of Aeruillin. Blossoming in the
Plain of the
Dead this ancestral flower is well sought after. It has a brown stem and stays
near the ground. The bloom from this desert flower is dull and easily mistaken
for a Kila weed. The dull orange color blends into the desert sand. It grows
well in sweltering places or high temp and low moisture.

Territory. Mostly found on the continent of Aeruillin,
at the borders of the Plain of the Dead. As was said the
Puliquay is very scarce and can't be detected very well unless
you have stumbled across them or you search for them explicitely.

Usages. When boiled
with the water from the Sea of Tardulan the Puliquay produces a potent
poison used for suffocating the enemy. It bubbles out of the container which has
been mixed and floats with the wind destroying
smaller beasts or even people, depending on the amount of
posion used. The water
has a mysterious effect making the weed release a poisonous gas. The gas
is supposed to contain small, barely recognizable and thus
practically unidentifiable life-forms. They seem to be
present on the surface of the bloom but not as potent as they were in their
gaseous stage. A theory suggests that these life-forms
can float on the air
and begin to embed themselves into their host eating away
its flesh or bark etc. once they come in contact. So one who uses this herb must
experiment with extreme caution not to let the gas flow in
his/her own direction.
The Brownies
are able to do this because the containers they use
are commonly much taller than them and the
dangerous deadly life-forms
usually float upward. Brownies
are immune to the parasites in solid form.

Myth/Lore.
Though no one knows where the Puliquay came from the
Brownies
were the
first to harness it for their way of life. Other species tried to add this to
their arsenal but could not harness it because the bloom itself was to fragile.
The oils from the
Brownies'
pores on their fingers seemed to nullify the tiny
parasites that lived on the blooms' surface. Other races became severely sick
when they touched the bloom. Brownies
being experts in herbs they manipulated
the herb to their advantage to spread the poison towards enemy troops
- only for
protection, never to destroy the world that the Life Tree presented them in. It
was said that the continent of Aeruillin was once a paradise but an
ogre that
tried to produce the poison produced enormous amounts, took a deadly wif and
died. At this disastrous turn of events the poison spread throughout the
continent destroying everything. But that is only legend told to
Brownies.
