Sweet Death

Sweet Death, scientifcally also known as Thameosine, is a substance most inhabitants of Keider are not familiar with. Even if they have seen its effects, it is unlikely many would know what caused them, let alone what said substance is called. In fact, Thameosine is known to a select few who are either educated in science or chemistry or who work with the substance in their daily affairs.

As suggested by its more common name, Sweet Death, Thameosine is a deadly poison. The substance is a clear liquid that looks and feels much like water. Its most notable attribute is its subtle sweet smell that is described to be similar to that of apples. One can only assume that the substance also tastes of apples slightly, though there is no conclusive evidence in support of that assumption.

If ingested, even just a few drops of Thameosine are usually enough to kill a person. Early symptoms of Thameosine poisoning include headaches, dizziness and nausea about an hour after ingestion. Soon after that, victims start to feel tired and weak. They then usually lay down to rest, fall asleep and never wake up from their nap.

There is an antidote, but once the victim starts exhibiting symptoms, it is usually already too late. Ironically, Thameosine loses some of its potency if its ingested with something containing apples such as apple juice or apple pie. This can make it a little more difficult to make sure the victim doesn't notice an out-of-place apple fragrance, though the smell is subtle enough to be masked by others.
