First discovered by Clan Rodarch desert scouts, all of whom knew of the Chakaar Weed, its benefits and dangers, what they called the Sleep poison had been used for many years in warfare and hunting. It became one of the Clan's secrets, kept quiet, known only to the desert dwellers, referred to as the sleep poison.
It was Arla Rodarch who first introduced the sleep poison to a Remnant medic, who was to Arla's surprise very interested in the medicinal benefits of the substance. Arla was confused until the doctor explained that an anaesthetic that could be used effectively on any species without other risks, was a valuable thing indeed. The Remnants were the group who funded further investigation of the substance and discovered it could be stored safely for up to a year while retaining its potency. They produced a goodly supply of the substance for their own purposes, internally marketing the drug as "Mr Sleep" for a useful and profitable trademark name.
Whether produced in a sterile laboratory for medical purposes, or mixed in a rough bowl by hand before being coated onto a melee weapon, the substance is fast acting and universally effective on any creature that possesses a brain and nervous system. It will stop all muscular activity for approximately one hour, after which it will have been metabolized and dissipated, rendered inert. This is usually enough to kill any creature, though indirectly, within the time of effect.
