Peranox

Peranox was a deadly poison commonly used by Fire Knives.

""Yes, a human poison." Olive nodded as beads of perspiration began rising on her forehead and cheeks. "And a halfling poison as well. Fast-acting. Deadly. What I have here will kill me. It may kill you, too. Though of course, I don't know the correct dosage for a beast your size.""

Description
Peranox had a distinct potent cinnamon smell. It was usually kept in small vials sealed with wax. It was a deadly contact poison originated from the South of Faerûn.

History
In 1357 DR Fire Knives attacked Alias while trying to bring her in alive. The 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 a halfling bard Olive Ruskettle's pockets and gave her an important upper hand in negotiating with a famous red dragon Mistinarperadnacles Hai Draco. Olive threatened to drink the cinnamon-smelling poison before the dragon was to eat her and killing 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.
