Hamlet's Poison
No Expiration
Marseille Adventurer's Guild
You know the play called 'Hamlet'? I have a request from a lady who saw it. In the play, the king is killed with the juice of hebanon poured into his ear. She wants to know if this poison really does exist. I would just go to London and ask Shakespeare. He wrote it.

Hebenon poison
Ha ha ha! Does the poison in Hamlet really exist? You truly are an interesting fellow. Of course it doesn't! Who would be able to sleep if such a convenient poison was around! Especially those nobles...
Model for the Poison
Actually, there was a plant I was thinking of when I created 'Hebenon'. It's not that uncommon. I'm sure you could probably find it around here. It grows near the entrance to Oxford college, as well. Feel free to take a look.
Model for Hebenon
According to Shakespeare, the plant he used when thinking up 'Hebenon' is not uncommon. He says it grows near the entrance to Oxford. I will ride the coach there and see what I can find.
