ABOUT

Note: The original name of this drug is something else in the source material and the “official” name is also a place in the official campaign setting, and is therefore not Open Game Content and so is not used here.

The name keif refers to both a desert cactus and the narcotic drug made from that plant’s milk. Keif is illegal in most countries, but where legal the quality and price are strictly regulated. A rare few spellcasters use keif as a means to deepen their understanding of magic. Known as sahir-afiyun, a phrase meaning “sorcerer of sleep,” these spellcasters believe that using the drug expands their minds to greater possibilities and thus greater magics. Most sahir-afiyun are arcane spellcasters.
