Urala is a drug finding its way into the underside of Amber society.

Growing

  • It is heavily flowering plant grown in most Dreanan shadows. It has been transplanted to other shadows where it grows well but the treatments that produce the finished Urala produces a vastly inferior product. However, these inferior products have similar but milder effects on human and chaos Endurance. Thus many realms that produce substandard versions gain their own followings.
  • Dreanan is the highest quality and most respected product. Dreana is the world of its origin.
  • Trasidy recently began producing product that is extremely comparable to Dreanan and in some places the two are mixed to proved a mellower high.
  • The plant is being grown in many shadows and produce levels of effect appropriate to the realms they are produced in. Kashfa has recently begun growing it in large quantities.
  • It is believed that Eregenor may also be able to produce dreanan level product one day.

Uses and Potency

Urala can be used in several versions.

Tobaccos

  • A tobacco-like preparation is by far the most common.
  • It tobacco form is hallucinogenic, euphoric, has a very pleasant vanilla taste, and almost no airborne scent. It changes colors dramatically while in the air creating an unscented cloud. The Dreana version is used in realms by people of all classes. Its effects are strong on those with human endurance, moderate on Chaos endurance, and mild to those with Amber or above endurance. It is comparable to the best grades of pharmaceutical marijuana for those with Human endurance. Since natives in certain realms such Amber, Avalon, Regor, Azcala, and Mandalay have a higher standard endurance this has become very popular in those realms.
  • The non-dreanan products are becoming more common across shadow because of the Jeweled Road.

alcohols and Food

Various alcohol and fermented products are produced.

Powders

A Powerful powdered crystalline product similar to cocaine and ingested in the same ways is the most potent method.

  • The crystalline version is a colorful powder smoked straight, or seeded in tobacco products, and mixed in foods and drinks. This is an effective intoxicant for people with high endurance and devastatingly strong for human and Chaos Ranked Endurance.

wings.

Addictive Qualities

  • It is nonaddictive physically and withdraw from its use is not difficult physically. It does create a psychological craving after frequent use. Overuse can be dangerous because of the lack of personal safety and hygiene long-term users develop. Similar to opium users.
  • Injection methods are used in some realms for medical purposes but they have not been shown to have any difference in results to smoked or inhaled methods.
  • Recently it was revealed that the best Urala powder was grown and created in Trasidy.

Production

  • the Urala plant is a leafy green plant with columns of multicolored flowers.
    • The leaves can be dried and smoked for a mild relaxing effect. Chewed for a sleep-inducer. Cooked like collard greens with a mustardy taste.
    • Urala Leaf Cigars have been smoked on Dreana for mellenia and recently became an export product.
    • The flowers are harvested, allowed to oxidize like tea for various periods of time. The longer the fermenting takes the better the produce.
    • Once the desired condition is achieved the flowers are allowed packaged in grain alcohol in cloth-covered containers till the alcohol is gone.
    • The alcohol cured flowers are then powdered and smoked.
    • An alcohol has been long made from putting unprocessed flowers in grain alcohol and allowed to age. It has a slightly floral taste and is mildly hallucinogenic. Few outside Dreana and Trasidy favor it.
