Snakes Oil

History
Made from snake venom, snakes oil is considered a weak poison. It was first discovered by the humans of Veldras somewhere around the year 6000 B.W.. No one knows for sure which of the human tribes used it first, but it is the earliest recorded use in modern history of Tholoria. Originally designed to be ingested by a target, the snakes oil has seen many changes over the years. In modern times it has been refined to the point where it causes damage to the internal organs with in seconds of entering the blood stream. Although it damages almost immediately, it is only lethal in large doses provided directly to the blood stream of a target.

Because it does not leave any lasting effects, no study has been made to create a antidote. At least no study has been made by official institutions of Tholoria.
