Gloom Dust

Gloom Dust is a strange poison, a gray powder distilled from the essence of the Gray Waste itself. Anyone exposed to the powder is affected as if they were exposed to the Waste itself; their senses become dulled and depressed to what is going on around them, as the powder temporarily leeches emotion out of them.

The physical nature of the poison, as a powder, makes it a favoured tool for assassins and thieves; it can be blown from a concealed place or left to be carried on the wind to guards, who will then inhale the powder and, without realizing, become dulled and inattentive; allowing the knight of the post to pass by or approach with less chance of being seen. Sometimes it can even reduce targets to a comatose slumber.
