__**Sniff Powder**__
Once common in Coeur d'Ennui, sniff powder has become rarer and more expensive since the guild wars between the North and South Sides some five years ago and the subsequent breaking of the halfling connection from Vir; as the halflings were the primary connection for that drug, and Vir itself is now a ransacked shell, sniff powder is now almost impossible to find, and its users have moved to other drugs or given up the habit.
It is a finely ground white powder believed to be derived from some tropical plant that grows only south of Pelos. When sniffed, it causes a brief burst of energy and euphoria. Some users also claim that it enhances sexual pleasure. Prolonged use can lead to paranoia, impulsiveness, and heart failure; there are rumors of individuals dying in unsightly fashion with blood streaming from their nostrils after overdoses. However, given the cost and rarity of sniff powder, it has been a long while since any such sight in Coeur d'Ennui. It is now considered an extreme and faintly dangerous luxury, and has some fashionable cachet among the more scandalous circles of the aristocracy. In large part due to its underworld ties, sniff powder is illegal.
