"Can you tell us more?" Otto asked. Although Alterra had encountered a version of the effects back then, the Golds were still in Bleulle at the time.

"I have heard of addictive plants before, and they were frowned upon, but there are places who use them," Otto said. As a famous merchant in his region, he had heard or encountered more things than others.
