Location

Lunarbane thrives in the undergrowth of aged forests. It is often found nestled among thickets of brambles and tangled undergrowth, its silver leaves camouflaged amidst the moonlit foliage. However, due to its rarity and the elusive nature of its blooming cycle, Lunarbane is notoriously difficult to locate and harvest, requiring keen observational skills and a deep understanding of lunar cycles.

Description

Lunarbane is a robust herb with serrated, silver-veined leaves that shimmer with an otherworldly luminescence, reminiscent of moonlight captured in foliage. Its delicate flowers bloom only under the light of the full moon, emitting a faint, silvery glow that illuminates the nocturnal landscape. Despite its ethereal appearance, Lunarbane exudes a faint, musky scent tinged with a hint of bitterness, betraying its potent alchemical properties.

Material Properties

• Lunarbane may be harvested and dried to be layered over small weapons and objects such as daggers and other materials to grant them an ethereal shine under the light of the moon. If in direct and exposed moonlight, this can sometimes fool lesser creatures who rely on ethereal sight, making the objects invisible or hard to see for them.

Alchemical Properties

• Lunarbane is prized for its ability to ward off the transformative effects of lycanthropy and mitigate the primal urges that plague afflicted individuals. If refined and ingested or applied topically, Lunarbane imbues the subject with a sense of calm and clarity, allowing them to retain their human consciousness for one transformation.
  • More then 2 uses of Lunarbane in a row of transformations triggers a negative reaction, causing an increase the ferocity and primality of lycanthropes even if they have practiced control, making them hostile to everyone around them as it fills them with a searing pain that prevents focus and cannot be removed until they revert. Additionally, they cannot manually transform out if this reaction occurs, no matter their skill.
  • In the wild, Lunarbane has the opposite effect, and its scent will increase the ferocity and primality of lycanthropes even if they have practiced control. At night, Lunarbane will force lycanthropes to transform against their will.
