Description
The Celebane Orchid grows near water in tropical regions. No two Celebane Orchids will grow within 3 feet of each other. The Celebane Orchid has a faint, vanilla-like, aroma. In appearance, the Celebane Orchid looks similar to the Vanda Orchid. The Celebane Orchid is distinguished by its deep purple colored petals and the pale-red tips on the leaves. Eating the petals have no effect; however, if the petals are dried and crushed into powder then seeped in boiling Red Dragons blood, a potential deadly poison is created. Celebane poisoning reduces the victims Intelligence score by 1 point per day until the victims Intelligence reaches 0 (at which point the victim is brain dead). The only know antidote to Celebane poison is to consume 1,000 GP worth of diamond dust. The antidote only stops the loss of Intelligence; it does not restore lost Intelligence points. A successful save versus poison negates the effect.
