Necromancer

RecipePaFp. 222014

On a survey of the fauna of Toril, the powerful sage Kazryn Nyantani encountered a mad necromancer who kept a beautiful garden of wormwood, juniper, and bitter citrus. She discovered, to her great alarm, that the garden was sustained by the same corpses the necromancer called on to do his terrible bidding!

The necromancer crafted an intoxicating potion infused with the fruits of his garden that he claimed would grant him eternal life. He was wrong, but the drink was delicious, with elegantly balanced notes of citrus and anise and a pale pallor reminiscent of the ghastly flesh of the animated dead. Nyantani brought the recipe back to Candlekeep, where it has put more people on their backs than it has ever raised from the dead.
