Wicked Dope

Item · 500 gp · Weight 0.25

The famous druid Sulema journeyed to the lands of the Worldwound to heal the flora and fauna crippled by the cataclysm. He was fearless and the call of duty in his heart was strong. Wherever he passed, green grass grew once more on gravel and rock and poisoned waters were purified. The demons could not harm Sulema, for he was strong and experienced. But it was not claws or blades the druid should have been afraid of. Each day that he witnessed the torments of nature and the terrible wounds inflicted on Golarion, his mind was slowly poisoned by madness. A year later, the druid's appearance was said to be frightful, his hair clotted and covered with mildew, his majestic staff twisted and matted with toadstools and withered vines. Sulema came to believe in the death of all creation. His feverish fantasies began to visualize the natural cycle of life and death as horrific torment yielding only dust and excretia. The druid that had restored life began instead to disfigure and poison the natural world. Thenceforth, wherever he went, he spread the disease, accompanied by a pack of venomous beasts. Sulema became a prophet of pestilence and a herald of blight and putrefaction. The mere touch of his staff brought madness and decay.
