Nyfra — the caustic root of the northern moorland. Burns on contact.

Notes

A low creeping root whose sap raises a deep, slow-healing burn. It is not cold and it is not frostbite, whatever the injury looks like.

Every northern child is shown the leaf before they are shown much else, and Stormharbor physicians treat a dozen cases a season, nearly all of them in people who were not from there.

The sap yields a controlled paralytic, used where a limb must be held absolutely still.
