I was playing the "The Last Days" mod for Mount & Blade Warband when this happened:



"Wormwood Brew", that caught my attention. Then, I googled a bit to discover if it is lore-friendly or not, and found out that "Mugwort" is a Hobbit family name and the word "Mugwort" is also the name of a plant called Artemisia, and "Wormwood" is also another name of this same plant. Therefore, I think that "Wormwood Brew" can be considered Lore-Friendly, and now, for the suggestion!



>> The Wormwood plant can be found in the north, around Dale, Dorwinion, the Anduin Vales and Rhovanion, but as it is known for having healing properties, Gondorian florists can also sell them for an expensive price (we're talking about an imported herb here).

>> To brew a nice barrel of Wormwood Brew, you need 3 water buckets (duh) and 6 Wormwood plants. But what about its healing properties? To make it more special, it can cure the nausea, weakness and poison effects.

This table shows what are the bonus that the Wormwood Brew gives to the player. Bear in mind that this isn't balanced in any way (do post your idea to better balance it). I'm also using Athelas as a base for my idea.

-- I'm going to answer this question already, because I believe it'll be asked:

But isn't Athelas way better?

>> Well, there's no Athelas readily available for players living in the north, and this one cures poison (a good counter against the spiders of Mirkwood and those players wielding poisoned blades) and also has an regenerating effect. Thank me next time you spend the entire night drinking for the Alcoholic Shield, because it cures nausea too!
