Peranox

Peranox was a deadly contact poison that originated from the south Faerûn and commonly used by members of the Fire Knives.

Description
Peranox had a distinct potent cinnamon smell. It was usually kept in small vials sealed with wax.

History
In 1357 DR, the Fire Knives attacked Alias while trying to bring her in alive. Afterward, vials of peranox were looted from their bodies, giving her an important clue about the assassins' true intent. The same bottles later found their way into halfling bard Olive Ruskettle's pockets and gave her an important upper hand in negotiating with the famous red dragon Mistinarperadnacles Hai Draco. Olive threatened to drink the cinnamon-smelling poison before the dragon was to eat her, which would kill the dragon as a result. Eventually, Olive threw the poison bottle into Mist's maw, almost killing the dragon. But Mist's life was saved by a saurial paladin Dragonbait's healing.
