The Apothecary
Old remedies carried stories long before they carried names.
Monkshood: The Plant That Was Born From a Hellhound's Saliva
Hunters on three separate continents, with no contact between them, all reached for the same plant to bring down animals too dangerous to face unarmed. Legend says it grew from the drool of the hound that guards Hell.
Henbane: The Witch's Herb That Fed Oracles, Murderers, and Pigs
It crowned the Greek dead, fed witches' broomsticks, and left even Cleopatra unwilling to die by it. Pigs love it. Everything else it touches tends to suffer.
