Dranath is a fictional herb, grown only in the Veresch Mountains of Princemarch, the herb has several properties. When boiled, dried, and powdered, "dranath" can enhance the powers of a Sunrunner or sorcerer, while also helping Sunrunners cross water without illness. In this form the drug is very addicting; withdrawal will almost certainly kill the imbiber. "Dranath" can also cure the disease known as "The Plague", a malady which affects both humans and dragons. For non-gifted people this drug works as a hallucinogen.
