Emerald Salts
Emerald salts is a highly addictive drug made from a green crystal that forms in the waters where the Material Plane borders the Feywild. It is illegal in many locations such as the Empire of Triton or the sea elf cities in the north, but it is perfectly legal in others such as Mir'assen or Calamand.
When used it creates a calming sense of euphoria. In higher doses it has been known to cause hallucinations. These are often followed by horrific withdrawals including headaches, muscle pain, nausea and exhaustion. In rare cases, these withdrawals have been known to be fatal.
It is dangerous and unstable in its raw form, causing necrosis in those who touch it. Users allow it to mix into the surrounding water and breathe it in.
Significance
Because of its slight extra-planar nature, it has some small magical aura, although it has no recognized magical properties. Rumors persist that in heavy doses it can be used for prophesy, although many wizards and clerics insist this is not the case. Similar rumors also persist that the sahuagin create a potion for foretelling the future that uses refined emerald salts.
