Secrets of the White Rose

I warn the reader of these
words that the possession of
these pages is considered by
some a traitorous act of
defiance, and possession of
the poisons that these pages
describe could be punished by
penalty of death. These words
have been penned for those
willing to take those risks 
in order to right injustices
that have escaped judgment by
a higher power.

There are few plants that can
survive in our harsh northern
lands. Many that do survive
have adapted and developed a
natural defense to not only
the weather but the creatures
that would consume it.

The roots of the gelsemium
contain a sap that will send
a chill through one's blood
and cause a freezing pain in
the brain. A SEALED POISON
VIAL, CONSTRICT SUSPENSION,
and two GELSEMIUM ROOT
mashed in a mortar and pestle
will provide a proper amount.

The petals of the Gelsemium
have similar properties. 
Prepare a SEALED POISON VIAL,
CONSTRICT SUSPENSION, and
mash three GELSEMIUM PETALS
into a sticky pulp and it
will drain the spirit of a
priest or practitioner of
magic.

A SEALED POISON VIAL,
CONSTRICT SUSPENSION, and the
pulp of two LIXT WING STALKS
will cause a person's blood to 
thin, making them groggy and
slow to react.

The hearty Tares Lichen and
Snowfall Algae which flourish
in the most hostile parts of
our lands will cause a slow,
painful death. A SEALED
POISON VIAL, LARENT
SUSPENSION, two parts TARES
LICHEN and one part SNOWFALL
ALGAE will produce a lethal dosage.

Keep this knowledge close to
your heart and speak it not
lest you risk an early demise
