The Ngorrhal Windbrace is a hardy, low-growing shrub native to Ngorrhal’s ridges and mountain passes. Unlike most of Ngorrhal’s flora, it possesses no stimulant or calming properties. Instead, it is prized across Geba as a universal antidote—a natural compound capable of neutralizing nearly all organic poisons, venoms, and toxins. In concentrated doses, it can even combat several types of manufactured chemical agents, making it a critical medicinal resource in both military and expeditionary use.
When consumed, Windbrace extract induces severe but short-lived convulsions and vomiting as it purges toxins from the system. The reaction is accompanied by extreme body heat and heavy sweating, which accelerate toxin expulsion through the skin. Though violent in effect, the process is rarely life-threatening, and recovery follows quickly once the toxin is expelled. In low or diluted doses, the plant functions as a mild diuretic and cleansing tonic.
Its ability to adapt to thin, mineral-rich soils and survive fierce alpine winds makes the Windbrace one of the few curative plants thriving in such extreme conditions. Despite its unpleasant side effects, it remains a cornerstone of herbal medicine and a crucial antidote stock for explorers, soldiers, and healers throughout the modern Geban world.
