	This pale green, mildly narcotic liquid is sometimes called ''Thresher's Tea.'' It depletes the personal mana reserves of a magician who drinks it leaving them unable to cast spells. It can sometimes be given to a magician unawares, but is more often fed to them directly as part of a punishment - it is common to give this herbal tea to a criminal who might possess dangerous magical powers.

	It should come as little surprise that the philtres of the high peaks were first codified by the [[Urizen]], but the original recipes themselves date back to the time of Terunael. The Urizen refined and developed them over the course of several centuries, improving their potency and efficiency, and by the time they joined the Empire the preparations were in the form they exist today.

	This thick red liquid visibly contains finely-chopped particulate and has a slightly salty taste; all factors that contribute to its common name.
