History

This recipe was researched by Nira Iniahtju as an antidote for Dominiahtei venom. Her lover had been bitten by a Dominiahtei and she was seeking a means to cure him. Unfortunately she too was bitten, before perfecting the antidote and her stricken lover died, while she was forced to entomb herself in statue form. Nira's rescuers were first to test the recipe upon their own stricken comrades, proving it to be effective, prior to reversing her imprisonment, and restoring her to life.
