	It is also a little risky to use this venom if the prey must be captured alive. I have heard of times when the prey died under the effect of the venom – when the paralysis was too extreme. A few times, they stop being able to breathe (although this is rarely fatal given how short lived the paralysis is), but at other times, their hearts simply stop. A Tepel can restart the heart easily enough, but most warriors do not know the secret of doing so and so the prey expires.</quote></div>		It is also a little risky to use this venom if the prey must be captured alive.

Navarr apothecaries have spent centuries trying to develop a thicker version of these venoms that can be successfully applied to arrows, but to date they have made no progress.

	In Autumn 382YE, the original three preparations governed by the Legacy of Thorns was expanded to include a fourth - [[#Legionnaire's Stare\|Legionnaire's Stare]] - when the recipe was [[Distribute_potion_recipes\|distributed]] to Imperial apothecaries by order of the [[~~Imperial~~ Senate]]. This new recipe originally came from a Druj herbal captured during the liberation of [[Reikos]], although an identical preparation was shared with the [[Highguard\|Highborn]] and [[Navarr]] as part of a gift of herb lore given to those two nations by the Great Forest refugees as thanks for their assistance establishing themselves in [[Therunin]].

	==Oil of Blackthorn==		==Oil of Blackthorn==
	Oil of Blackthorn is an effective blade venom, and has seen extensive use by the [[Navarr]] in their battles with barbarians, [[~~Vallorn~~]]-spawned horrors and hostile outlaws alike. It is considered very useful for dealing with certain creatures of the ~~Vallorn~~-infested forests; such creature often heal at a preternatural rate, but they die just as easily as anyone else when venom is involved. Indeed, the [[vallornspawn husks]] are especially vulnerable to venom, dying very quickly if they are struck with a weapon coated in Oil of Blackthorn. [[Varushka\|Varushkan]] [[Warden\|wardens]] made occasional use of this venom for the same reason when fighting certain [[Varushkan Monster#Wolves\|monsters]] that display similar vivacity.

	Among the [[Highguard military concerns#Unconquered\|Unconquered]] of [[Highguard]], this thin, slate-coloured oil is more commonly termed ''Basilisk Ichor''. A common tactic is for a close-combat team to use it on their weapons to enhance the effectiveness of a volley of arrows fired by nearby allies - a tactic that some claim they learnt by watching the [[Navarr]] - although coordinating this manoeuvre is quite challenging even for the traditionally organised Highborn. Darker rumours suggest their ancestors first encountered it from the receiving end, either in some past conflict with the Navarr, or perhaps more likely in the interminable border skirmishes with the barbarian orcs.
