Terazul

Terazul was a flowering plant found only in a few locations in the jungles south of Delzimmer. It was also the name of a somewhat addictive drug made from the leaves of the plant.

Ecology
When ground into a powder and snorted, the drug was a powerful stimulant, causing the user to remain awake for days at a time. When drunk as a potion it caused visions. Terazul was not without side effects, however, as children of terazul users were sometimes born with abnormalities such as tentacles.

The plant's properties were thought to be due to its ability to tap into lingering pockets of spellplague. In reality, the plant's roots grew out of portals to the Far Realm, which had been opened by derro in the Underdark.

History
The terazul trade was controlled by House Serrat of Delzimmer.

In 1479 DR, a group led by Alaia Serrat and her adopted daughter Zaltys closed the portal to the Far Realm, destroying the terazul plants.
