[Irulan Al-Zahir]

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Can easily be dissolved into most drinkable liquids, thus making as if the medium was never tampered with in the first place.
• One vial can contaminate the water supply of a village.
• Once a living being has consumed the contaminated liquid once, they can not go back to drinking uncontaminated liquids without going through with-drawls.This is due to the Tears of Sikarra tricking the living being's brain that the contaminated water is purely more refreshing or tastes better and it makes them want more.

STRENGTHS

• Almost near instant addiction upon first consumption of a liquid that has been contaminated with the Tears of Sikarra.

WEAKNESSES

• Pretty easy to decontaminate and remove from any liquid that it's found in
• Can only produce addictive effects while in a liquid medium. Drinking it straight from the vial will only result in death from brain over stimulation

DESCRIPTION

One of the many drugs that have come out of the SIkarran Alchemist Guild, the Tears of Sikarra were commissioned by Queen Amunet some twenty years prior to Irulan's mother ascending to the role of Queen. Spice smuggling and trade is considered a crime in many civilized parts of the galaxy, and spice smugglers were often imprisoned for carrying such substances. Thus did Queen Amunet devised a way for Sikarra to continue to expand its spice trade without drawing too much attention to themselves. She commissioned the alchemists to create a drug using spice to maintain that addictive nature but something that can be smuggled more easily.

What the alchemists came up with after years of work, was the Tears of Sikarra. Spice that had been refined and mixed together with chemicals and pharmaceuticals to create a watery potion. The intended usage and effect was simple. Pour a vial of this concentrated concoction into a water supply or someone's drink and it will get them addicted. With the Tears of Sikarra, spice expansion and smuggling can become way easier for Sikarra allowing them to corrupt more civilized planets more easily.
