Smoke spheres were small incendiary devices crafted in Qadib, the City of Sages, in the Free Cities of Zakhara.[1]

Description[]

A black smoke sphere measured 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) in diameter.[1]

Uses[]

When thrown forcefully, a smoke sphere would explode upon striking a solid object. The explosion ignited a small flame and a spherical cloud of dark smoke measuring 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter. The smoke hindered both normal vision and infravision and lasted for several minutes depending on the wind conditions. A smoke sphere exposed to fire would immediately explode.[1]

Smoke spheres could only be purchased in rare alchemical shops throughout the Land of Fate. Their price was 8–18 gold pieces a piece in Qadib, the city of their origin, and 16–36 gold pieces a piece elsewhere in Zakhara.[1]

History[]

Smoke spheres were commonly used by street performers and rogues. They were carried by holy slayers and every member of the Brotherhood of the True Flame.[1][2]
