Effitte

Effitte is a highly addictive drug that is wreaking havoc on the population of Maradaine. It is a thick purple liquid, sold in vials. Effitte importation is primarily done by Willem Fenmere's organization, and he dominates distribution in the city as well.

Effitte is ingested orally. It smells bitter with a touch of lavender. In the case of an overdose, the victim starts giggling, then laughing uncontrollably, followed by convulsions, foaming at the mouth, and bloodshot eyes. In smaller doses, as usually intended, users space out. It could have an effect though skin contact.

Effitte made from the resin of the effitssa plant that grows only on a few Napolic islands. As far as we know, only the Poasians know how to produce effitte from the resin, and only do so on the island of Paktphon (formerly the Druth island Bintral). Efforts to grow effitssa in Druth hothouses have been unsuccessful.

By late summer 1215, the Poasians had improved their refining capabilities to produce efhân, a lavender powder with far greater potency. A vial of efhân is claimed to be as potent as a gallon of effitte.
