Hangmans Knot

about 20 years ago, in the Year 412 of the Gilded Era (412 G.E) this kingdom was plagued by a flower called the Hangmans Knot. The Knot-Strangle first appeared in the mist-veiled kingdom of Briar-Hollow, born from a betrayal when a merchant laced the local grain with the toxic Hangman’s Knot flower. The sickness is a gruesome descent; it begins with a vivid, red rope-like rash that coils around the victim’s neck, followed by violent vomiting, diarrhea and a foul-smelling odor of rotting flora. As the poison takes hold, victims suffer paralysis in their legs and slip into terrifying delusions, their bodies eventually succumbing to involuntary spasms they cannot control. Most treacherous of all is its spread: the toxin lingers in the sweat and oils of the skin, meaning a healthy traveler can be condemned just by stepping in the footsteps of the afflicted, turning every street in the kingdom into a literal minefield of invisible, deadly traces. The Cure: A mixture of consecrated sea salt, crushed charcoal, and lye. The doctors must scrub the patient’s neck and legs until they bleed, physically "drawing out" the flower's toxins. It stops the involuntary spasms almost instantly, though it leaves the patient weak for weeks.
